1.33 square meters
To find the area of the scale drawing, you need to square the scale factor used. In this case, the longer side measures 1 meter in the scale drawing, so the scale factor is 1. The area of the original campsite is 1.5 meters x 2 meters = 3 square meters. The area of the scale drawing is 1 square meter x 1 square meter = 1 square meter. Therefore, the area of the scale drawing in square meters is 1.33 square meters.
