At a sports stadium, Tara and Emek were asked to mark a rectangular training field beside the main arena. They had only a scaled plan showing that 1 centimeter represented 8 meters. On the plan, the open area measured 9 centimeters by 6 centimeters, so they determined that the real space was 72 meters by 48 meters. The new field needed to be 56 meters long and 32 meters wide. Tara converted these dimensions back to the plan and found that the field would measure 7 centimeters by 4 centimeters there. Emek noticed that placing it against one edge would leave only 8 meters beside a busy walkway. By shifting the field, they could leave 8 meters on each side across the 48-meter width. They marked the balanced position on the plan, then measured it at the stadium. The field fit perfectly while keeping both walkways clear.
