The area of the given doormat is 0.4 meter square.

Here, we are given that Sammy has a rectangular doormat. The dimensions of the doormat are given as follows-

The length of the doormat is = 4/5 meters

and the breadth of the doormat is = 1/2 meters

The area of a rectangular figure is given by the formula as follows-

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

Let the area of the rectangular doormat be A

Thus, in this case, we have-

A = 4/5 × 1/2

A = 4/ 10

A = 2/5

Now, converting the area obtained into a decimal number we get-

A = 0.4

Thus, the area of the given doormat is 0.4 meter square.
