Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

so

In this problem

triangle GHK is similar to triangle JMP

that means

GH/JM=HK/MP=GK/JP=(PerimeterGHK)/(Perimeter JMP)

so

GH/JM=(PerimeterGHK)/(Perimeter JMP)

substitute given values

6/9=39/(Perimeter JMP)

solve for perimeter JMP

(Perimeter JMP)=(39*9)/6

(Perimeter JMP)=58.5 in
