Well it is a cola in a bottle so we need to find the (very important) that we'll used in the calculations. Next, we'll assume it's a cola in can with cylindrical shape because ther'es no formula for finding area & volume for "curvature" bottle (2 curves? 3 curves?, we don't know)
1)For the where the height will be the lengths given.
Let's follow the following designation,
-------------- smaller size
-------------- bigger size
Since is given, we'll solve this first,

We have to remember,

-----------> if you want exact =5.6 cm
And remember because they're similar right as stated.
So for = 1.18 Liters ---> smaller
2) for the Area of the bigger cola, we need to get the =
=
------------> bigger

Thank you, Jojo
