HERE IS ANOTHER METHOD DONE BY MYSELF:---
consider the sphere be  made up of several circles.the sum of the cicumference areas of the circles with varying radius from -r to +r is equal to the surface area of sphere.consider one such circle of radius r. and width dr.since it is symmetrical we can change the limits from 0 to 2R.
 
circumference of the circle=2r-------------eq1---integrating to the limits ,0 to 2R we get
 
[ ][ ] circumference of the cicle=[ 0][ 2R] 2r
                                            
                                              =[ 0][2R]2r
                                                          2R                                                                        
                                               =2(r2)0 /2    
                                      
                                                  =2(4R2)/2
 
                                                =4R2
I THINK WE COULD NOT PROVE THIS BY INTEGRATION AS IT HAS NO INTEGRATOR.THE INTEGRATOR dr WHICH IS WIDTH CAN COME ONLY IN MASS AND VOLUME AND NOT IN AREA.HENCE I THINK THIS COULD NOT BE SOLVED IN THE ABOVE METHOD.I AM REALLY SORRY.PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

IF U THINK U CAN, U CAN........IF U THINK U CAN'T, U CAN'T.........

BE THE BEST OF WHAT EVER YOU ARE!!!

THEN U WILL SUCCEED FOR SURE!!!
