First rectangle area = length x width = 1.5m x 0.75m = 1.125 square meters
Second rectangle area = length x width = 1.75m x 0.5m = 0.875 square meters
Difference in area = 1.125 square meters - 0.875 square meters = 0.25 square meters
Therefore, the difference in area between the two rectangles is 0.25 square meters.
