Hello. I'm trying to calculate area of my shapefiles but I'm not really sure
if I'm doing it right. I expect results to be in meters (sq meters or sq.
kilometers) but read out is in sq. degrees. I'm told that I have shapefiles
in geographic coordinate system WGS 84 but I don't know to convert this to a
projected coordinate system from qgis.
So, how should I go about doing
- converting from geographic coordinated to projected coordinates so I
could
- determine/calculate area
- determine distance between points
- convert sq. degrees to sq. meters?
Thanks
