0.75 square meters
To find the area of the scale drawing, you need to square the ratio of the lengths in the scale drawing to the actual dimensions. In this case, the longer side on the scale drawing is 1 meter, which is 1/4 of the actual length of the rectangle (4 meters). Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is (1/4)^2 * (4 meters * 3 meters) = 1/16 * 12 square meters = 0.75 square meters.
