In this paper, we prove the main conjecture on $g$-areas arising from [7]. That conjecture was announced by the first author in 2004. It~states that the $g$-area of any Hamiltonian diffeomorphism $\phi$ is equal to the positive Hofer pseudo-distance between $\phi$ and the subspace of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms that can be expressed as a product of at most $g$ commutators.
Keywords: Hofer's geometry, Poisson bracket., g-area, commutator length.
