I am trying to find the area of this raster but am unsure how to do it. Since it is a raster the "calculate geometry" does not work and when looking at the "calculate field" tool there is no area code, is it possible to do this with cell count or would it be faster to do raster to polygon?
cell size * cell count
if your raster is in a projected coordinate system, if not...

@DanPatterson thank you! my raster is the in coord system AEA_WGS84 with a cell size of 30mx30m. the cell count for the raster is 1,764,385. when using the formula "(1,764,385)*(30*30)" i get a result of 1,587,946,500. is this the expected answer in meters?
that would be meters squared
10,000m^2 = 1 hectare
1,000,000 m^2 = 1 km^2
etcetera
