We can use the law of cosines here. ( remember, side b is opposite angle B) DEGREE MODE!

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cos(B)

16^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2(10)(12) cos(B)

256 = 244 - 240(cos B )

12 = -240(cos B )

-0.05 = cosB

arcos(-0.05) = B

B = 93 degrees

Must a triangle with two acute angles be a right angle?

No. For example, say the two angles are 10° and 20°. Then the other angle is 180°-10°-20°=150° and that is not a right angle. But if the triangle has two equal acute angles of 45 degrees then the 3rd angle must be 90 degrees which will form a right angle triangle.
