I assume the question refers to a right angled triangle, since a rigt angle, by itself, cannot have an area.
There are three possible answers - depending upon which of the sides are "a" and "b".
Case 1: The right angle is between the sides "a" and "b". The area is 0.5*a*b
Case 2: The side "a" is opposite the right angle (the hypotenuse). Then the third side, c is sqrt(a2-b2). The area is 0.5*b*c
Case 3: The side "b" is opposite the right angle (the hypotenuse). Then the third side, c is sqrt(b2-a2). The area is 0.5*a*c

What is the meaning of Right Angle?
-- an angle that measures 90 degrees -- an angle whose sides are mutually perpendicular
Can a circle have right angels in it?
no. if it did it wouldent be a circle a circle can circumscribe a right angle a right angle whose vertex lies on a circle has sides that intersect the circle's diameter.
What is an incribed angle in circle?
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords.
What is the angle whose vertex is on the circle whose sides include chords?
central angle
An angle whose sides make a ray is called?
an acute angle
What is an angle whose sides are perpendicular called?
a right angle, or a 90 degrees angle
What is the meaning of Right Angle?
-- an angle that measures 90 degrees -- an angle whose sides are mutually perpendicular
What did Pythagoras contribution to math?
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
What is the actual definition of the Pythagorean Theorem?
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
What is the Pathagerame Theorem?
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). a2 + b2 = c2

How can you tell if wxy is a right triangle?
If the triangle contains an angle whose measure is equal to 90 degrees or if the sum of the squares of two of the sides equals the square of the third. Essentially, if it has a right angle or if a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the longest side of the triangle and a and b are the other two sides, then the triangle must be a right triangle (in Euclidean geometry, that is)
What is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and whose sides are chords of the circle?
Inscribed angle
Fill in the blank The measure of an angle whose sides overlap is degrees?
The measure of an angle whose sides overlap is 0 degrees. It is than not an angle, but rather a line.
An angle whose vertex is on the circumference of a circle and whose sides include chords of the circle is what kind of angle?
An inscribed angle.
