Here we can think of three properties

1) Sum of any two sides of the triangle > Third side
i.e. 16>BC >4

2) Angle drawn at circumference in a semicircle is a right angle
But here C is not on circumference i.e. ACB is an Obtuse angle triangle

3) For any obtuse triangle $$c^2 > a^2 + b^2$$ where c is the longest side of triangle

i.e. $$b^2 < 10^2 - 6^2$$
i.e. $$b^2 < 100 - 36$$
i.e. $$b^2 < 64$$
i.e. $$b< 8$$
