So, is the team defence platform ramp 12" or 10"?

My team and I were discussing the length of the team defence platform ramp. The question was asked here , but I am still confused on the answer.

The answer said that the field component's technical drawings (CAD) were the ultimate arbiter of the field dimensions, but my question is: Why would they give us two different dimensions?, changing the angle of the ramp by two inches and a degree of slope is kind of a big deal. They site "ease of construction", nothing is easy about giving us conflicting sizes for critical field objects. Below are the conflicting images I am referring to, the first is from the game manual, the second is from the CAD drawings.

What is the length of the ramp? What is the angle of the ramp?
