Fencing Ferdinand wants to fence three rectangular areas. there are fences in three types, with $4$ amount of fences of each type. You will notice that there is always at least as much area it manages to enclose a total of three by enclosing three square areas (i.e., each area fencing elements of the same size to enclose it) as if it were three different, rectangular would encircle an area (i.e., use two different elements for each of the three areas). Why is this is so? When does it not matter how he fences the rectangles, in terms of the sum of the areas?

Let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ be four points in the plane, with $C$ and $D$ on the same side of the line $AB$, such that $AC \cdot BD = AD \cdot BC$ and $\angle ADB = 90^{\circ}+\angle ACB$. Find the ratio \[\frac{AB \cdot CD}{AC \cdot BD}, \] and prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal. (Intersecting circles are said to be orthogonal if at either common point their tangents are perpendicuar. Thus, proving that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal is equivalent to proving that the tangents to the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ at the point $C$ are perpendicular.)
