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).
