Takes one or more features and returns their area in square meters.

Parameters

geojson GeoJSON (required) - input GeoJSON feature(s)

Returns

number - Point distance units along the line

Examples

INSPECT(GEOMETRYAREA(GEOMETRY())

// returns in sq meters
// 82487.30619407611

SETRESULT(parseFloat(INSPECT(GEOMETRYAREA(GEOMETRY()) / 4046.86)).toFixed(3))

// returns in Acres
// toFixed controls the number of decimal points

Note:

GEOMETRYAREA leverages Turf.js (https://turfjs.org) for calculations, which may differ from other libraries. Like Fulcrum data, Turf uses standard WGS84 coordinates. WGS84 models the Earth as an ellipsoid. This means area calculations may have small inaccuracies compared to more precise geodesic methods, especially over large regions or near the poles. Different coordinate systems and calculation methods try to adjust for correct regional measurements, but it's never going to be exact.
