The length of
\(\overline{LJ}\) is \(27\).

The given information seems to represent a code or pattern. Let's analyze it:

- 20 corresponds to G

- 19 corresponds to GH

- 39 corresponds to JK

It appears that the number is associated with the position of the letters in the alphabet.

- For \(G\), the 7th letter of the alphabet, 20 - 7 = 13 .

- For \(H\), the 8th letter of the alphabet, 19 - 8 = 11 .

- For \(J\), the 10th letter of the alphabet, 39 - 10 = 29 .

Now, let's find the corresponding value for L , the 12th letter of the alphabet:

39 - 12 = 27

So, L corresponds to 27.

Therefore, the length of
\(\overline{LJ}\) is \(27\) .
