1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the missing volume $V$ of Solid #2 given the surface areas and volume of Solid #1 and the surface area of Solid #2.
Given:
- Solid #1: $SA_1 = 1088$ km², $V_1 = 13312$ km³
- Solid #2: $SA_2 = 425$ km², $V_2 = ?$
2. **Formula and Rules:**
For similar solids, the ratio of surface areas is the square of the scale factor $k$, and the ratio of volumes is the cube of the scale factor $k$:
$$\frac{SA_1}{SA_2} = k^2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{V_1}{V_2} = k^3$$
We can find $k$ from the surface areas and then use it to find $V_2$.
3. **Calculate the scale factor $k$:**
$$k^2 = \frac{SA_1}{SA_2} = \frac{1088}{425}$$
Calculate $k$:
$$k = \sqrt{\frac{1088}{425}} = \sqrt{2.56} = 1.6$$
4. **Use $k$ to find $V_2$:**
$$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = k^3 \Rightarrow V_2 = \frac{V_1}{k^3}$$
Calculate $k^3$:
$$k^3 = (1.6)^3 = 4.096$$
Calculate $V_2$:
$$V_2 = \frac{13312}{4.096}$$
Show intermediate cancellation:
$$V_2 = \frac{\cancel{13312}}{\cancel{4.096}} = 3248$$
5. **Final answer:**
The volume of Solid #2 is:
$$\boxed{3248 \text{ km}^3}$$
