You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ASSUMING LINE MR IS A STRAIGHT LINE & MN//BU THEN <1= ANGLES 1 & ANGLE BRU ARE EQUAL (RIGHT ANGLES).
NOW WE HAVE 2 ANGLES AND A SIDE THAT ARE EQUAL THEREFORE THE TRIANGLES ARE EQUAL. THUS NE=UR & ME=BR & ########################################################
