Giraffe is in Metric (meters) by default. When your project is set to Imperial (feet), the engine does some work in the background to evaluate all of the distances and areas to convert them to Imperial. However, in Flow Builder 2.0, the engine is often working with raw geometries where it is unclear what the correct Unit of Measure might be. Therefore, you can use nodes from the Units category in Flows to adjust as required.

measure the area of a geometry
You may do this using area
Or, you may simply want to input a number from number or Input Parameter
Add the To feet node. Connect it to the number from the previous step
The output is the original number converted to feet via a multiplier.
