Answer: 251 square meters.

Explanation:

You need to use the formula for calculate the lateral surface area of a cone:


LA=3.14rl

Being "r" the radius of the cone and "l" the slant height.

Calculate the radius:


r=(diameter)/(2)\\\\r=(16m)/(2)\\\\r=8m

Now that you know the radius and the slant height of the cone, you need to substitute them into the formula for calculate the lateral surface area of the cone:


LA=(3.14)(8m)(10m)\\LA=251.2m^2

Therefore, the closest choice to the lateral surface area of the cone is: 251 square meters.
