0.75 square meters
Explanation: Since the longer side measures 1 meter, the shorter side (width) in the scale drawing would be 0.75 meters (since 3 meters in the actual rectangle corresponds to 1 meter in the scale drawing).
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 1 meter * 0.75 meters = 0.75 square meters.
