The area of the first rectangle is:
1.5 meters x 0.75 meters = 1.125 square meters
The area of the second rectangle is:
1.75 meters x 0.5 meters = 0.875 square meters
The difference between these two areas is:
1.125 square meters - 0.875 square meters = 0.25 square meters
Therefore, the difference between the areas of the rectangles is 0.25 square meters.
