Hi

Check this doc: geometryEngine | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.5

Use square-meters as paramater

anything geodesic I am sure you can specify the coordinates.  Perhaps it is in acres because the projection uses feet for coordinates.  What does the documentation for that method show?
