My husband is making a large cross, how long does the lateral section need to be if the vertical is 6ft?

My husband is making a large cross, how long does the lateral section need to be if the vertical is 6ft?
Please answer using the golden ration if possible.
The Golden Ratio is a universal law in which is contained the ground-principle of all formative striving for beauty and completeness in the realms of both nature and art, and which permeates, as a paramount spiritual ideal, all structures, forms and proportions, whether cosmic or individual, organic or inorganic, acoustic or optical; which finds its fullest realization, however, in the human form.

Let h be the golden ratio, then the proportion of vertical to lateral is (1+h)/h = h/1, so that h^2-h-1=0, ie, h = (1+root(5))/2. So V/L = (1+root(5))/2, which means lateral = 12/(1+root(5)) = 3.7082…feet = 3 feet 8.5 inches.

Oh, and remember it has to be attached 3 feet 8.5 inches up from the floor as well.
