28^2=10^2+24^2\\ 784=100+576\\ 784=776

It's not.

In every right triangle, if you add up the squares of the two
shorter sides, you get the square of the longest side. If you
don't then it's not a right triangle.

10² = 100
24² = 576

100 + 576 = 676

676 is the square of 26.
It's NOT the square of 28.

So 10 - 24 - 28 is not a right triangle.
