On the coordinate plane, let $\Gamma$ be an ellipse with center at the origin and major axis on the $y$-axis. It is known that a linear transformation of counterclockwise rotation by angle $\theta$ about the origin (where $0 < \theta < \pi$) transforms $\Gamma$ to a new ellipse $\Gamma ^ { \prime } : 40 x ^ { 2 } + 4 \sqrt { 5 } x y + 41 y ^ { 2 } = 180$. The point $\left( - \frac { 5 } { 3 } , \frac { 2 \sqrt { 5 } } { 3 } \right)$ is one of the two points on $\Gamma ^ { \prime }$ farthest from the origin.
The length of the major axis of ellipse $\Gamma ^ { \prime }$ is (15-1) $\sqrt{\underline{(15-2)}}$. (Express as a simplified radical)
