The area of the reduced rug is 25 square feet

<h3>How to determine the area?</h3>

The dimensions are given as:

Length = 12.5 feet

Width = 10 feet

The area is calculated as:
Area = Length * Width

So, we have:

Area = 12.5 * 10

Evaluate

Area = 125

When reduced by one-fifth, we have:

Area =1/5 * 125

Evaluate

Area = 25

Hence, the area of the reduced rug is 25 square feet
