Correct statements:
- The surface area of the sphere in terms of r is 4πr^2.
- The surface area of the cylinder in terms of r is 4πr^2.
- The surface area of the cylinder and sphere are the same.

Work: Sphere SA = 4πr^2. Cylinder SA = lateral + 2 bases = 2πr·h + 2πr^2 = 2πr·r + 2πr^2 = 2πr^2 + 2πr^2 = 4πr^2.
