Additional Information

The calculations are evaluated and made accurate in ArcGIS Pro 3.1, based on the definitions used across ArcGIS Pro as outlined here https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/appendices/geoprocessing-considerations-for-length-and-area-units.htm. The attempt is not made to make calculations match ArcMap, only to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in ArcGIS Pro. ArcMap US Survey Acres in the Calculate Geometry dialog box uses the international definition of acres, which causes a difference between ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, as ArcGIS Pro now consistently uses the correct definitions based on either a specified US and International linear or areal unit.
