Answer:

48 degrees

Explanation:

All triangles are 180 degrees. A right triangle always has an angle of 90 degrees and your second angle is given to you (42 degrees). To solve you simply add up your known angles: 42+90. This equals 132. Then, you subtract 130 from 180 to get your third angle which is 48.
