minus-squareReputedlyDeplorable@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoCould be, but my dad would get old billboards to use as tarps for hay. The hay barn roof leaked so we had to cover the stacks inside. The hay barn was 60x100ft and we would get tarps that spanned the width, so at least 60ft.
minus-squareonslaught545@lemmy.zipBannedlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoI think they’re meaning the aspect ratio is not correct for 40x60. The sign would need to be taller for those measurements to make sense.
minus-squareReputedlyDeplorable@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoAhh, yes, I did not catch that. Thanks!
minus-squarefartographer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoNo, 40x60 is correct. Vertical feet are shorter than horizontal feet due to gravity.
minus-squareSanctimoniousApe@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoSo you’re saying I’ll be much taller if I just become an astronaut? I’m moving to the moon, baby!
minus-squaretaiyang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoDon’t give imperial units any ideas!
minus-squareDicska@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoI think it’s about the ratio. 40*60 is 2:3, and this looks more like a 1:3 (3:1, if you like). It’s much thinner than 2 squares * 3 squares.
minus-squarePsythik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoYeah okay I see what you’re getting at now.
minus-squareBeeegScaaawyCripple@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoyeah that looks like a 4:1 ratio or close to it

I would assume 20x60

Ah, that makes sense.

It’s roughly 12x18m
