So the sum of the angles in a right triangle is always 180 degrees, and one of the angles is always 90 degrees. So do you know what 180-90-42 is? This would be your answer

KingPizza · Answer

okay well 180-90-42 would be 48 degrees. I hope this helped you

Okay, so 48 degrees is my answer? Or do I need to do more math for that?
