How to Calculate Area of Shape file in QGIS | Calculate Area of Shape file & Convert sq. M to Sq. KM

[@adimasutafesse1180]

amazing tutorial...................why we divide total area in to 100, 000 to determine area in km2?

[@LearnRSGIS]

Because 1sqkm = 100000 sq meter, that's why.. When data has UTM projection, that time this area will be calculated always sq meter

[@adesai7358]

How did u know the unit is in sq. meter?

[@LearnRSGIS]

Beacuse shape file has UTM Projection and this projection unit is meter. area is always sq..

[@sonuvanawat8640]

How you know that calculated area is in sqare meter?

[@LearnRSGIS]

It's depends on projection unit. This is UTM projection...

how to convert square meter to hectare?

[@LearnRSGIS]

Same step you can follow, just select hectare and run

@@LearnRSGIS - you didn't select square kilometers, you just divided by 1000. Confused.

[@xmireyadehoogh]

@@cycleSCUBA I share the same confusion...

[@LearnRSGIS]

@@cycleSCUBA Hi, I am not divided by 1000, I divided by 1000000 because of Sq.m. to sqkm conversation. I think you know that software given the area as per projection unit. Please let me know if you have any doubt
