Answer 1

0.75 square meters

To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to determine the dimensions of the rectangle in the scale drawing. Since the longer side in the scale drawing measures 1 meter, we can assume that the shorter side is 0.75 meters. Therefore, the area of the rectangle in the scale drawing is 1 meter x 0.75 meters = 0.75 square meters.
