Since we have a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the third side.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse.
Substituting the given values, we get:
102^2 + b^2 = 10^2
Simplifying:
10404 + b^2 = 100
b^2 = 100 - 10404
b^2 = -10304
Since the value of b^2 is negative, this is not a valid triangle. Therefore, we cannot determine the measure of angle J.
