The area of the rectangular region is 

$\text{(A)}\ \text{.088 m}^2 \qquad \text{(B)}\ \text{.62 m}^2 \qquad \text{(C)}\ \text{.88 m}^2 \qquad \text{(D)}\ \text{1.24 m}^2 \qquad \text{(E)}\ \text{4.22 m}^2$
$(.4) \cdot (.22) = \frac{4}{10} \cdot \frac{22}{100} = \frac{4\cdot 22}{10\cdot 100} = \frac{88}{1000} = 0.088\rightarrow \boxed{\text{A}}$
