how can we prove that the area of a circle is 22/7 r^2 and it's perimeter is 2*22/7*r?

Nobody can, because it's wrong. You can't "prove" something that's wrong.

The area of a circle is (3.14159265359... ) times r^2.

22/7 = 3.142857143...
This is not equal to the magic number pi; the 4th digit and all the rest are wrong.

Have a look at

http://www.mathreference.com/geo,circle.html

. . . but remember that 22/7 is just an approximate vaule for π (pi), so as pointed out by someone else, you can only prove that Area = πr², not that Area = 22/7 r²

Showing that Perimeter = 2πr is more difficult, and most proofs use calculus together with radians for angle measurement rather than degrees - I would give that one a miss at the moment.

There are two separate questions here.

1. Show that there is a number pi such that the area of a circle is pi r^2 and the circumference is 2 pi r.

2. Calculate or estimate pi.

I suggest that you not worry much about either of those until you study calculus. Answers that superficially don't involve calculus really turn out to just be "doing calculus badly".

area of circle is pi r^2
pi=22/7
therefore area of circle= 22/7r^2
we know that perimeter of circle is pi*d where d is diameter of circle. so pi=22/7 and is 2r
therefore perimeter of circle=2*22/7*r

22/7 = 3.14285714285... and pi = 3.14159265359...

if you take only the two first numbers after the point, this is:

22/7=3.14 and pi = 3.14

so, only in this case:

3.14=3.14 and 22/7=pi.

I read you later.

Nobody can!
B'coz u r wrong.
It's pie * R^2
and pie does not have an exact value. It's not 22/7
It's actually between 22/7 and 223/71.
So............. You are wrong .

1st : you can prove that by using the formula which is 2 into bie into the radius..

use differential calculus
use the derivative of a function
