The given problem is an example of an "inscribed angle"

The inscribed angle ∠ACB is half of the intercepted arc AB


\angle ACB=(1)/(2)\text{mAB}

The intercepted arc AB is 40°

So, the inscribed angle ∠ACB becomes


\begin{gathered} \angle ACB=(1)/(2)(40\degree) \\ \angle ACB=20\degree \end{gathered}

Therefore, the measure of ∠ACB is 20°
