If you place the Reprojector after the AreaCalculator, the data would not be projected before area calculation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Sure

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that area calculations depend on the coordinate system the geometry is in at the moment the calculation runs. If you compute area first, the AreaCalculator uses the geometry in its current CRS (often geographic coordinates in degrees), so the resulting area is in those units and not in the projected, usable units you’d expect (like square meters). Only after that would the Reprojector change the coordinates, which means the area was already determined in the original CRS. To get a meaningful, projected area, reproject first, then calculate the area. So the statement is true: placing the Reprojector after the AreaCalculator would mean the data isn’t projected before the area calculation.
