[Qgis-user] Create a polygon with a specific area size

[Ujaval Gandhi]

If you 'Identify' the polygon, it will display the polygon Area in square meters
under the 'Derived' section. Let's call this X. If your desired area is Y,
the scaling factor is Y/X. Use this scaling factor and scale it using the
'Scale' tool in the Advanced Digitizing
toolbar. https://youtu.be/70CDATzucDY?si=diTLZ2CRg7oS_a0l&t=102
