The rectangle shows the outline of a campsite in a national forest. Anna makes a scale drawing of the campsite in which the longer side measures 1 meter. What is the area of the scale drawing in square meters?(1 point)
Since the longer side in the scale drawing represents 1 meter in real life, we can say that the shorter side also represents 1 meter in real life (since a rectangle has equal opposite sides).
Therefore, the scale drawing has dimensions of 1 meter by 1 meter.
To calculate the area of the scale drawing, we multiply the length by the width:
1 meter * 1 meter = 1 square meter
So, the area of the scale drawing is 1 square meter.
