1.Check the Area Property of an object

If the object is closed such as a circle, area, hatch, etc, users can select the object and check properties such as Area and Circumference in the Properties Panel (CTRL +1 to open the Properties Panel), as shown in the following picture,

Small tip:

2. Use Area command

CAD provides Area command (shortcut: AA), as shown in the following picture,
