A board $64$ inches long and $4$ inches high is inclined so that the long side of the board makes a $30$ degree angle with the ground. The distance from the ground to the highest point on the board can be expressed in the form $a+b\sqrt{c}$ where $a,b,c$ are positive integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a+b+c$? [i]Author: Ray Li[/i] [hide="Clarification"]The problem is intended to be a two-dimensional problem. The board's dimensions are 64 by 4.

The sequence of Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ is defined by $F_0 = F_1 = 1 $ and $F_{n+2} = F_n+F_{n+1}$ for all $n > 0$. For example, we have $F_2 = F_0 + F_1 = 2, F_3 = F_1 + F_2 = 3, F_4 = F_2 + F_3 = 5$, and $F_5 = F_3 + F_4 = 8$. The sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ is defined by $a_n =\frac{1}{F_nF_{n+2}}$ for all $n \ge 0$. Prove that for all $m \ge 0$ we have: $a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_m < 1$.
