Project 13: Smugglers tried to cross wall along Mexican border, built their ramps too short. How long should they make their ramps to scale a 14 foot wall?

Answer: The smugglers would need to make their ramps 191 feet long in order to give them an 84 degree angle on either side of the wall. Combined, the angles on either side of the wall would total 168 degrees, only 12 degrees away from a straight line. Their Jeep Grand Cherokee would have no problem crossing a ramp at 168 degrees.
