Fill in the Blank

An electronics engineer is designing a square microchip component where the surface area is represented by the trinomial 64y2−80y+25{}64y^2 - 80y + 25. To simplify the design process, the engineer recognizes this as a perfect square trinomial that fits the pattern (a−b)2(a - b)^2. If the first term represents a2=(8y)2a^2 = (8y)^2, what is the numerical value of the constant bb that completes the factored form (8y−b)2(8y - b)^2?
