Explanation:

I am not sure what you mean.

do you mean to see, if this can be a right-angled triangle, and if so, what is the Hypotenuse, and what are the legs ?

I assume this to be the case.

so, we must be able to build a Pythagoras equality

c² = a² + b²

28² = 784

53² = 2809

45² = 2025

indeed, we see right away, 45² + 28² = 53²

confirmed, it is a right-angled triangle, with 53 being the Hypotenuse.
