 Donky Kong – The Next Generation of Platform Game!

I need your help – I was never any good at maths and I’m designing a new game called “Donky Kong”. It’s a platform
game where my main character, Mario has to save a damsel in distress by jumping over the barrels rolled down the
platforms at him. Mario climbs the ladders, which will be at different angles, in order to get to the damsel and free
her.

All the platforms are parallel with a wedge at each end to make the barrel roll – hope that helps.

We are so close to completing it but I can’t calculate all the angles that the computer programmer needs in order to
finish the game. Please find all the missing angles on the game:

Donky Kong Damsel

Barrel

35° c e f h i

a b 110° d g 125°

130° j k l
Barrel

n
m o

p r u v
q

s 23° 68° t w x

B 47° y z
Mario 39°
Barrel

C D E F 132° A

Extension:
Please explain how you calculated each angle so that I won’t have to ask for help about this again.
I’ll need mathematical explanations as my programmer is very picky about using the right language.
