Finds the shared area between two polygons.
npm install @turf/intersectTakes [polygon][1] or [multi-polygon][2] geometries and
finds their polygonal intersection. If they don't intersect, returns null.
* features [FeatureCollection][3]<([Polygon][1] | [MultiPolygon][2])> the features to intersect
* options [Object][4] Optional Parameters (optional, default {})
* options.properties [Object][4] Translate GeoJSON Properties to Feature (optional, default {})

`
Returns ([Feature][5] | null) returns a feature representing the area they share (either a [Polygon][1] or
[MultiPolygon][2]). If they do not share any area, returns null.
