My best whizzes come after a lot of beer, but here is a sober attempt. You make a "pup-tent" shape with a 36" ridgepole on a 64-1/2" base and it forms two right triangles. Some Greek guy proved that the square of one side will equal the square root of the other sides squared and added together. Something like that. The Scarecrow got it wrong in the Wizzard of Oz, as I remember. Anyway, that works out to you needing a 96" length if you have a crisply bent ridge. The opposite, a boxy lid, would require two 36" drops and a 64-1/2" roof; which is 136-1/2". Now, you obviously have to end up between those two lengths depending on how rounded you make the roof. So, my quick and dirty estimate is that you will need 96" + 28"(about 2/3 between the two, favoring the long to have a nice curve). That's 124". Lets see what the guys who remember parabolic sections and the like come up with.
