Answer:

no. the triangle would be acute

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a^2 +b^2=c^2[/tex] ← formula for right triangle

↓

[tex]28^2+53^2=45^2[/tex]?

↓

[tex]28^2=784\\53^2=2809\\45^2=2025[/tex]

↓

[tex]784+2809=3,593[/tex]

↓

[tex]3,593 > 2025\\a^2 +b^2 > c^2[/tex]

which means the triangle is acute, not right.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
