This is where i am stuck,how can I prove that either line EN is congruent to line JU or that line EJ is parallel to line NU?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
for some reason the picture isn't coming out on this part. it is suppose to be a diagnol EU and a line NU.
 
Why is this a "calculus and beyond" question? Looks like basic geometry to me.

Also I don't see any indication of what YOU have done. If we don't know what kind of help you need, we can't give you any help.
 
sorry for wrong area. all the work i did is at the bottom same with what i need help with
