There are no dimensions on Figure 2-9, nor are the acrylic/polycarb sheets identified. Its just a picture of the wall. There's no guarantee it's dimensionally accurate. You had to make the assumption that the poly sheet is the same width as the low goal, but there's nothing in the picture or the text that states that as fact.

I have also come up with a number, which I believe to be correct, based on how I've interpreted the information provided by FIRST (I followed a different path than you've outlined). It's not a matter of just getting an answer though, I want the right answer. Which is why the questions were posted to the Q&A.
