Answer:

36x44 feet are the dimensions of the yard.

Explanation:

Given that the blueprint for landscaping a yard has a scale of 1/2" to 1 foot.

i.e. scaling factor is 1/2 for one foot.

If real dimension is 1 foot, it is shown as 1/2 inch in blue print.

Using this we can find the real dimensions if given blue print dimensions.

The blueprint is a rectangle 18inches by 22 inches,

Hence real length of rectangle = 18(2) feet = 36 feet

Width of rectangle = 22(2) = 44 feet

i.e. the yard has dimensions as 36x44 feet.
