Question

The rectangle shows da outline of a campsite in a national forest. Anna makes a scale drawing of da campsite in which da longer side measures 1 meter. Wut is da area of da scale drawing in square meters?

0.75 Square Meters

12 Square Meters

3.5 Square Meters

1.33 Square Meters

Answer 1

To determine the area of the scale drawing of the campsite, we need to find the dimensions of the rectangle based on the given longer side, which measures 1 meter.

Since we do not have the original measurements of the campsite, we cannot directly calculate the area of the scale drawing without knowing both the length and the width of the rectangle.

If we assume that any of the given answers could come from different potential width values based on a specific longer side of 1 meter, we can try to calculate the area as length multiplied by width (Area = Length * Width):

1. **Assuming longer side is the length** (1 meter) and assuming the following potential widths (based on guessing or referencing estimated campsite sizes):
- If the width is 0.75 meters: Area = 1 * 0.75 = 0.75 square meters
- If the width is 4 meters: Area = 1 * 4 = 4 square meters
- If the width is 3.5 meters: Area = 1 * 3.5 = 3.5 square meters
- If the width is 1.33 meters: Area = 1 * 1.33 = 1.33 square meters

From your provided options:
- 0.75 square meters
- 12 square meters
- 3.5 square meters
- 1.33 square meters

The area related to your drawing is likely to correspond to each respective drawing. Since scaling usually keeps the same proportion, without specific original measurements, we can assume:
- If the longer side (1 meter) and area should represent a specific drawing proportions, it most probably leans towards the smaller area options relative to physical space.

So, without specific information about width, the valid answers could possibly be:

- 3.5 Square Meters
- 1.33 Square Meters

Please confirm width or physical dimensions if possible for exact calculations.
