    The answer is a. 10 cm

    The lateral area (LA) of the cone can be expressed as:

    LA = π * r * l

    r - the radius of the cone

    l - slant height of the cone

    It is given:

    l = ?

    r = 50 cm

    LA = 500π cm²

    Let's replace these in the equation for the lateral area of the cone:

    500π = π * 50 * l

    500π = 50π * l

    ⇒ l = 500π/50π

    l = 10 cm
