The rectangle shows the outline of a campsite in a national forest. Anna makes a scale drawing of the campsite in which the longer side measures 1 meter. What is the area of the scale drawing in square meters?(1 point) 1.33 square meters 1.33 square meters 3.5 square meters 3.5 square meters 0.75 square meters 0.75 square meters 12 square meters
To find the area of the scale drawing, you need to use the scale of the drawing. In this case, the longer side of the rectangle in the scale drawing measures 1 meter, which means the shorter side would be 0.75 meters based on the scale.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the length is 1 meter and the width is 0.75 meters.
Area = 1 meter x 0.75 meters = 0.75 square meters
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing in square meters is 0.75 square meters.
