To convert 20°C to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):

1. Substitute \( C = 20 \) into the equation:
\[
F = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32
\]

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 20 \):
\[
F = 36 + 32
\]

3. Now add 32:
\[
F = 68
\]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{68} \).
