Similar triangles give the correspondence G↔J, H↔K, I↔L. So GH ↔ JK, HI ↔ KL, and GI ↔ JL.

If GH = 31, JK = 17, and GI = 58, the scale factor from triangle GHI to JKL is 17/31. Thus
JL = (17/31)·GI = (17/31)·58 = 31.806... ≈ 31.8 (to the nearest tenth).

If your 31, 17, 58 label different sides, tell me which side is which and I’ll recompute.
