We note that sin A = B D A B = B D 24 = 2 3 \sin A = \dfrac {BD}{AB} = \dfrac {BD}{24} = \dfrac 23 B D = 2 3 × 24 = 16 \implies BD = \dfrac 23 \times 24 = 16 . Also sin C = B D B C = 16 B C = 3 4 \sin C = \dfrac {BD}{BC} = \dfrac {16}{BC} = \dfrac 34 B C = 16 × 4 3 = 64 3 \implies BC = 16 \times \dfrac 43 = \boxed{\dfrac {64}3} .
