Answer:

756

Explanation:

The ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor.

First, we find the scale factor from the blue solid to the red solid.

scale factor = 6/4 = 3/2

The ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor:

ratio of areas = (3/2)^2 = 9/4

volume of red solid = volume of blue solid * ratio of areas

volume of red solid = 336 m^2 * 9/4 = 756 m^2

Answer: S = 756 m^2
