1.
Assume that the first prism have dimension l, w and h. Therefore its volume is:

Now, the second prism after applying the scale factor has dimensions 59.5l, 59.5w and 59.5h, hence its volume will be:

Therefore, the scale factor for the volume is 210,644.9.
2.
The are of the base of a rectangular prism is given by:

hence, in this case we have:

Therefore the area of the base is 50 squared units.
