To find the length of the path, we can set up the equation based on the information given. Let \( L \) represent the length of the path. According to the problem:
\[
0.55L = 66 \text{ feet}
\]
To solve for \( L \), we divide both sides by 0.55:
\[
L = \frac{66}{0.55}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
L = 120 \text{ feet}
\]
Therefore, the length of the path is:
\[
\boxed{120} \text{ ft}
\]
\[
0.55L = 66 \text{ feet}
\]
To solve for \( L \), we divide both sides by 0.55:
\[
L = \frac{66}{0.55}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
L = 120 \text{ feet}
\]
Therefore, the length of the path is:
\[
\boxed{120} \text{ ft}
\]
