I am trying to calculate the acreage in a polygon and the numbers I keep getting are 1/3 to 1/2 higher than they should be when calcalculating the area of a known polygon.  Why do I keep getting higher readings?  I am using OSIP tile data provided by the State of Ohio.

Are the polygon and the raster in the same projection?  How is acreage being calculated in both?

Thanks Dan.  You were right.  The projection was not the same.  Once I was able to get all the layers on the same projection, the
acreage calculation was spot on.  Thanks for the help, Dan, I really appreciate it.
