I am looking for a way to store an area in a variable
i am 3d model for a CFD study and i am trying to store my front surface in variable so i can access it easily and so i can calculate the drag coefficient of my model .
I already have my front surface but i can't save the value

If you haven't found it yet, there's a "project body" custom feature which will take any body or surface and project it onto a plane or mate connector. Then the next step requires the "Measure value" custom feature which has an area option (missing from the built in tools).

Try Measure Value by @Konst_Sh.
If you need the data to stay with the part beyond Onshape, you can store it within the part's properties via the Property / Attribute feature.
