The blueprint for landscaping a yard has a scale of 1/2 inch to 1 foot. If the blueprint is a rectangle 18 inches by 22 inches, what are the dimensions of the yard?
Answer (2)
Given a blueprint scale of 1/2" to 1 foot, and blueprint dimensions of 18 inches by 22 inches, the actual dimensions of the yard are 36 feet by 44 feet. ;
The actual dimensions of the yard are 36 feet by 44 feet based on the blueprint measurements. By multiplying the blueprint dimensions by a factor of 2, we account for the scale of 1/2 inch representing 1 foot. Thus, using the calculations, we determine the real-life measurements of the yard.
