Geometry Service - Calculate geometry

Description
This example shows how you can use an ArcGIS Server geometry service to measure polygon areas and perimeter lengths in your Web application. When you draw a polygon with the mouse, the Draw toolbar captures the polygon's geometry. This sample passes the geometry to the GeometryService.areasAndLengths() method.
Because this map uses a projected coordinate system that is appropriate for calculating lengths and areas, no projection of the polygon is necessary. If your map is in a geographic coordinate system and you need to project the polygon before measuring, see the sample Measure distances to learn how to perform the projection with the geometry service.
