Answer:

[C] 25π square inches

Explanation:

Given that:

the long hand of the clock is about 5 inches long.

To Find:

What is the approximate area of the clock face?

Solve:

Formula - A =πr²

Note that;

π = 3.14 (about)

Radius - 5 inches

A =πr²

A = 3.14(5)²

A = 3.14(25)

A = 78.5

Now let see the answer choices:

A. 5π square inches ≈ 5(3.14) = 15.7

B. 10 π square inches ≈ 10(3.14) = 31.4

C. 25 π square inches ≈ 25(3.14) = 78.5

D. 100 π square inches ≈ 100(3.14) = 314

Hence, the answer is [C] 25 π square inches
