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.)

The picture below shows the way Juan wants to divide a square field in three regions, so that all three of them share a well at vertex $B$. If the side length of the field is $60$ meters, and each one of the three regions has the same area, how far must the points $M$ and $N$ be from $D$? Note: the area of each region includes the area the well occupies.
