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? 4 height 3 width
The scale of the drawing is 1 meter on the longer side, corresponding to the width of the rectangle in the campsite. This means that the height of the rectangle on the drawing is 3/4 of the longer side since the scale is 3:4.
Therefore, the height of the rectangle in the drawing is 1 meter * 3/4 = 0.75 meters.
The area of the scale drawing is then calculated by multiplying the width by the height: 1 meter * 0.75 meters = 0.75 square meters.
So, the area of the scale drawing is 0.75 square meters.
