Let P(X,Y,Z)$P(X,Y,Z)$ denote a homogeneous polynomial in ℂ[X,Y,Z]$\mathbb{C}[X,Y,Z]$ such that XP = {(u : v : w) ∈ ℂℙ2 | P(u,v,w) = 0}$X_P = \{(u : v : w) \in \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2 \mid P(u,v,w) = 0\}$ defines a smooth complex projective curve in ℂℙ2$\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$. It inherits a Riemannian metric from the Fubini-Study metric on ℂℙ2$\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$.

Is there an explicit formula or algorithm that gives the area of XP$X_P$ as a real surface in terms of the polynomial P(X,Y,Z)$P(X,Y,Z)$?

Area of a smooth complex projective curve
