The figure shows an arbitrary (green) triangle in the center. White squares were built on its sides to the outside. Some of their vertices were connected by segments, white squares were built on them again to the outside, and so on. In the spaces between the squares, triangles and quadrilaterals were formed, which were painted in different colors. Prove that [list=a] [*]all colored quadrilaterals are trapezoids; [*]the areas of all polygons of the same color are equal; [*]the ratios of the bases of one-color trapezoids are equal; [*]if $S_0=1$ is the area of the original triangle, and $S_i$ is the area of the colored polygons at the $i^{\text{th}}$ step, then $S_1=1$, $S_2=5$ and for $n\geqslant 3$ the equality $S_n=5S_{n-1}-S_{n-2}$ is satisfied.

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. If the two rooms have dimensions of 38 feet by 55 feet and 50 feet by 55 feet, what are the carpet dimensions?
