The problem states that the tennis court has a length of 32 yards and a width of 16 yards. Isaiah made a scale drawing using a scale of \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch = 4 yards.

### To find the dimensions of the scale drawing:

1. **Scale for Length:**
   - Actual length: 32 yards.
   - 4 yards correspond to \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch.
   - To find the length on the drawing in inches, we use the ratio:
     \[
     \frac{32 \text{ yards}}{4 \text{ yards per } \frac{1}{2} \text{ inch}} = 8 \text{ increments of } \frac{1}{2} \text{ inch}
     \]
     Since each increment is \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch, the scaled length is:
     \[
     8 \times \frac{1}{2} = 4 \text{ inches}.
     \]

2. **Scale for Width:**
   - Actual width: 16 yards.
   - Again, 4 yards correspond to \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch.
   - To find the width on the drawing:
     \[
     \frac{16 \text{ yards}}{4 \text{ yards per } \frac{1}{2} \text{ inch}} = 4 \text{ increments of } \frac{1}{2} \text{ inch}
     \]
     So, the scaled width is:
     \[
     4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \text{ inches}.
     \]

### Conclusion:
- **Length of the scale drawing** = 4 inches.
- **Width of the scale drawing** = 2 inches.

### Related Questions:
1. How would the drawing change if the scale was 1 inch = 2 yards?
2. What is the area of the actual tennis court in square yards?
3. How would you calculate the perimeter of the tennis court from the scale drawing?
4. If the scale was doubled, what would be the new dimensions of the drawing?
5. What fraction of the actual tennis court's area is represented by the scale drawing?

**Tip:** Always set up a proportion between actual dimensions and scale to easily find the dimensions on a scale drawing!

A tennis court has a length of 32 yards and a width of 16 yards. Isaiah made a scale drawing of the tennis court using a scale of 1/2 inch = 4 yards. Label the dimensions of the scale drawing.
