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
