    1. 25 times larger

    2. The scale factor is 25:1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Let A represent the area of your swimming pool

    Let a represents the area of your neighbour's swimming pool.

    From the question, we understand that the area of your swimming pool is 25 times larger than the area of you neighbour's. This can be represented as follows;

    A = 25 * a. - - - divide through by a

    A/a = 25 * a/a

    A/a = 25

    This means that your pool is 25 times larger than your neighbour's.

    To get the scale factor, we have to convert the expression above to ratio

    A/a = 25

    This can be rewritten as

    A/a = 25/1

    By comparison the position of constraints at the left hand side to those at the right hand side of the equation

    A = 25

    a = 1

    So,

    A : a = 25 : 1

    Hence, the scale factor is 25 : 1
