Let the radius of the sphere be r cm.
Then,
Surface area of the sphere = 4πr² cm² ...(i)
The radius and height of a right circular cylinder that just encloses the sphere of radius r and 2r respectively.
Surface area of the cylinder = 2πr x 2r
= 4πr² cm² ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
Surface area of the sphere is equal to the surface area of the cylinder that just encloses the sphere.
