Rectangle shows outline of a campsite in a national forest and makes a scale drawing of the campsite in which the longer side measures 1 m what is the area of the scale drawing and square meters
If the longer side of the campsite in the national forest is 1 meter, then the shorter side (which is not specified) could be any length.
For the purpose of this calculation, let's assume that the shorter side is also 1 meter.
Since the scale drawing is a rectangle, we can calculate the area by multiplying the longer side by the shorter side.
Area = longer side x shorter side
Area = 1m x 1m
Area = 1 square meter
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing of the campsite in square meters is 1 square meter.
