We are given that lines HJ and KM are parallel. We notice that the angles:


\begin{gathered} \angle KLN \\ \angle HIL \end{gathered}

Are corresponding angles, and therefore they are congruent, that is:


\angle KLN\cong\angle HIL

Also, angles:


\begin{gathered} \angle HIL \\ \angle JIG \end{gathered}

Are vertical angles, therefore, they are equal:


\angle HIL\cong\angle JIG

Therefore, combining the two statements we get:


\angle KLN\cong\angle JIG

Therefore:


\angle KLN=43

Angle KLN equals 43 degrees.
