This can only be solved, as far as I know, by trial and error.

The square on the hypoteneuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the two adjacent sides.

The square on the hypoteneuse, in tis case, is 532 = 2809

Trail and error suggests that one of the sides is 28 -(282 = 784) and the other is 45 -(452 = 2025).

Now that we have two adjacent sides we can calculate the area = 28 x 45 = 1260 sq in.
