120 feet?

anonymous · Answer

it should be 100 because the golden ratio is 1.61803399

directrix · Answer

The golden ratio "phi" has approximate value 1.61803399.

directrix · Answer

60 is to the length L as 1 is to phi

60/L = 1/1.61803399 

L = 60 (1.61803399 ) = 97.082 approx

directrix · Answer

100/60 = 1.6 with a repeating 6 so I'd go with 100 as the answer.
