Well, actually, Pythagorean is the only to work the given information into giving a third side. All the others require an angle to be given.

I added more info to my post to explain that.

This is all assuming that it is actually a triangle that the riddle pertains to.

Well, the only thing we can assume is that the hypotenuse > 12 because of the Greater Side law.. the two sides' sum must be greater than the hypotenuse or it's not a triangle.
