let the 3rd number be t
so $t^2 + (10x+y)^2 = (10y+x)^21$
or $t^2 = (10y+x)^2 - (10y+x)^2 = 99(y^2 - x^2) = 99(y-x)(y+x)= 11 . 3^2(y+x)(y-x)$
y+x is less than 18 and y-x is less than 10
for the RHS to be a perfect square we must have y +x = 11 and y-x is to be perfect squiare and odd
because 11 cannot be a factor of y-x and if y +x is odd then y-x has to be odd because y-x = y + x - 2x
so y+ x = 11 and y-x = 1 giving y = 6 and x = 5
hence $t^2 = 99 * 11 * 1$ or t = 33
so triple is (33,56,65)
