The scale of the drawing is 1 meter for the longer side of the rectangle. Since the original rectangle has a length of 4 meters, the scale drawing's length would be 4 times smaller, which is 4m/4 = 1m.
Similarly, the width of the original rectangle is 3 meters, so the width of the scale drawing would be 3m/4 = 0.75m.
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing would be 1m x 0.75m = 0.75 square meters.
Thus, the correct answer is:
0.75 square meters
