Regarding your first question, multiply the surface area of the smaller cylinder,
which is 69 m^2, by the square of the similarity coefficient, %285%2F3%29%5E2.

Regarding you second question, please notice that the square meter is not the unit
to measure volume: for it, cubic meters are used, instead.
