Answer:


314in^(2)

Explanation:

Circumference is
2\pi r

Find your radius


2\pi r=62.8\\\pi r=31.4\\

Let
\pi =3.14 for simplicity

r=
(31.4)/(3.14)=10

Now use the equation for the area of a circle to find the area of the clock face.

Area of a circle is
\pi r^(2)

Area of clock face is
\pi (10^(2) )

=
100\pi

=
314in^(2)
