78.5 square inches
To find the area of the clock, we can use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the clock. The circumference of the clock is equal to 2πr, so r = circumference / 2π = 31.4 / (2 * 3.14) = 31.4 / 6.28 = 5 inches.
Now, we can calculate the area: A = π(5)^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square inches.
