    Step-by-step explanation:

    When a circle is inscribed in a cylinder, the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere and the radius of the cylinder is same as that of the sphere.

    Let the radius of sphere is r.

    height of cylinder, h = 2r

    radius of cylinder = r

    Surface area of sphere, A = 4πr²

    lateral surface area of cylinder, A' = 2 πrh

    A' = 2πr x 2r = 4πr²

    The ratio of surface area of sphere to the lateral surface area of cylinder is 1 : 1.
