Since the two solids are similar, their volumes are proportional to the cube of their scale factor (since volume is a three-dimensional measurement).
Let the scale factor be x. So, we have:
(857.5 / 540) = x^3
1.588 = x^3
x ≈ 1.1144
The surface area of similar solids is proportional to the square of their scale factor (since surface area is a two-dimensional measurement).
So, the surface area of the larger solid is:
(108)(1.1144)^2 = 136.08 mm^2
Therefore, the surface area of the larger solid is 136.08 mm^2.
