step 1

Find out the scale factor

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of their volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cubic

so

Let

s ----> scale factor

s^3=11,000/8,019

s=1.11

step 2

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

s^2=SA/1,134

s=1.11

1.11^2=SA/1,134

SA=(1.11)^2*(1,134)

SA=1,400 yd2
