B. 12 square meters

D. 1.33 square meters

1 answer

D. 1.33 square meters

To find the area of the scale drawing, we need to use the scale factor. The scale factor is 1/4, since the longer side of the rectangle is 1m compared to the original 4m.

Area of the original rectangle: 3m x 4m = 12 square meters
Area of the scale drawing: 12 square meters x (1/4)^2 = 1.33 square meters

Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 1.33 square meters.
