Best Answer

Open the attribute table of the polygon shapefile you want to calculate. Add a field called Area, double type. Right click on the field heading in the attribute table and choose calculate geometry. Area should be the default, you will have to choose sq\km from the dropdown. Click OK. The double type will give you plenty of accuracy (decimal places).

What has an area of 1 km2?

Anything two dimensional whose dimensions equate to an area of 1 Km2. It depends on the shape of the specific object in question as to how we calculate area, but to keep things simple let's look at a rectangle. A rectangle's area is simply its length multiplied by its width. So: For example a perfectly flat rectangular field with dimensions 1 Km by 1 Km would have an area (surface area) of 1 Km2. (1 * 1 = 1) Equally, if the dimensions of the field were 0.5 Km by 2 Km then the area would also be 1 Km2. (0.5 * 2 = 1)
