A Right Triangle must satisfy the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
From the given side lengths, let a = 28, b = 45, c = 53 (c cannot be less than a or b)
a2 + b2 = (28)2 + (45)2
a2 + b2 = 784 + 2,025 = 2,809
c2 = (53)2 = 2,809
a2 + b2 = c2 (2,809 = 2,809)
Therefore, a Triangle with side lengths of 28, 45 and 53 is a Right Triangle
Note: Since the side lengths are positive integers and the GCF(28, 45, 53) = 1, they are a primitive Pythagorean Triple
