The value of angle ABC is 74.2°

To find the measure of angle ABC we use sine rule.

Sine rule is used when two angles or two sides are given.

x is an unknown angle and two sides are given

Mathematically, sine rule states that;

a/sinA = b/sinB

20/sinx = 18/sin60

20sin60 = 18sinx

17.32 = 18sinx

divide both sides by 18

sinX = 17.32/18

x = sin⁻¹( 0.962)

x = 74.2°

Therefore the measure of angle ABC is 74.2°
