Answer

$C=4.20\times 10^{-9}F$ $A=0.247m^2$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $Q=CV$ But; $V=Ed$ $\implies Q=C(Ed)$ This can be rearranged as $C=\frac{Q}{Ed}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $C=\frac{0.675\times 10^{-6}}{8.24\times 10^4\times 1.95\times 10^{-3}}=4.20\times 10^{-9}F$ We also know that: $C=K\epsilon_{\circ}\frac{A}{d}$ This can be rearranged as $A=\frac{Cd}{K\epsilon_{\circ}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $A=\frac{4.20\times 10^{-9}(1.95\times 10^{-3})}{3.75(8.85\times 10^{-12})}=0.247m^2$
