Just given one angle measurement -- and nothing else -- you do not have enough information to find area. However, in a triangle, if you know the size of one angle and the sizes of the two sides that include that angle, you can find the area of that triangle by using the formula;  A  =  ½·a·b·sin(C).

'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the two sides that include angle C.
