First the proof. I will approach that with calculus and polar coordinates.
Imagine a general closed-path r(θ), enclosing an area about the origin.
r being the radius at angle θ.
Rewording the question as finding the shape (i.e. type of function r(θ)) which has the smallest perimeter for the same area. For a small slice of this shape, this will mean finding the smallest arc length for the same sector area.
Consider the elemental area spread out by an elemental angle of dθ.
The elemental sector area is given by
dA = r(θ)^2 / 2 * dθ
(ref.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system)
The elemental arc length swept by this angle is
dS = 1 / square_root( r(θ)^2 + (d r(θ) / dθ)^2 ) * dθ
(ref.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length)
For the same area dA, r(θ) is fixed. To minimize the arc length dS, the only variable left is dr(θ) / dt. Since it is squared, the minimum dS can only be obtained when dr(θ)/dt is zero.
If dr(θ)/dt = 0, then
r(θ) = C (i.e. an arbitary constant, not a function of angle θ).
This gives you the polar form of a circle!
Now the easy arithmetics:
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*r = 100cm
r = 100 / (2*p) = 15.92cm
Area of a circle = pi * r^2 = pi*15.92^2 = 795.78cm^2
