For a single polygon you can use the Identify Features toolbutton. In the Identify Result dialog look under Derived for the area of the clicked polygon.

If you want to update or make a new column with the area use the Field Calculator and the function Geometry > area$. The dollar sign just tells you that the function takes no arguments from you.

The Identify Feature and Field Calculator buttons:

You can also access the Field Calculator within the Attribute window.
