You can use the tool "Polyline from Segments" (OG) to convert your shape built out of lines to a polyline. Then select the shape and check the Property Editor for the Area size ...

But you must using trial or purchased version not free one
Also you have to remove or any points layer before select polyline to get area in property editor

Well, because you posted your question in the QCAD Professional forum and my answer refers (of course) to the QCAD Pro tools.
