Here is this week's basic math problem. We have several members who will check solutions, but we also welcome the community in general to step in. We also encourage finding different methods to the solution. If one has been found, see if there is another way. Occasionally there will be prizes for extraordinary or clever methods.
Given positive real numbers ##a,\,b,\,c,\,d## that satisfy the equalities
$$a^2-ad+d^2=b^2+bc+c^2$$ and $$a^2+b^2=c^2+d^2$$
find all possible values of the expression ##\dfrac{ab+cd}{ad+bc}##
