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) Responses 1.33 square meters 1.33 square meters 3.5 square meters 3.5 square meters 0.75 square meters 0.75 square meters 12 square meters
The longer side of the rectangle in the scale drawing is 1 meter, which means the actual longer side of the campsite is also 1 meter.
To find the area of the scale drawing, you need to know the scale factor used in the drawing. If the longer side of the actual campsite is 1 meter, and the longer side of the scale drawing is also 1 meter, then the scale factor is 1.
Since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, the area of the scale drawing is:
1 meter * 1 meter = 1 square meter
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 1 square meter.
