To find the area of one small piece of cloth after Diana cut the big piece, we first need to calculate the area of the original piece of cloth.
The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
For the original piece of cloth measuring 23 m by 36 m:
\[
A = 23 \, \text{m} \times 36 \, \text{m} = 828 \, \text{m}^2
\]
Diana cut the cloth into 3 equal pieces, so to find the area of one small piece, we divide the total area by 3:
\[
\text{Area of one small piece} = \frac{828 \, \text{m}^2}{3} = 276 \, \text{m}^2
\]
Thus, the area of one small piece of cloth is \( \boxed{276} \, \text{m}^2 \).
