To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to first find the scale factor.
Since the longer side of the rectangle in the scale drawing is 1 meter and the longer side of the actual campsite is also 1 meter, the scale factor is 1.
Now, we can find the area of the scale drawing by squaring the scale factor.
1^2 = 1
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 1 square meter.
The correct answer is:
• 1 square meter
