• Click the Measure tab and then click the Area button.
• Hold down Ctrl on the keyboard and click near the corner of the yellow boundary. This will “snap” directly to the yellow boundary.
  
• Continue pressing Ctrl while dragging the line around the rectangular box, clicking at each corner.
• Double click at the end to close the polygon.

The Measure tool quickly calculates area (acres) of delineated polygons or circles. The Distance button will show feet of line segments.
