.Object B must be inscribed in object A.
How is an apothem different from a radius?
An apothem is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of a regular polygon from the center of the polygon. A polygon is not a circle so it cannot have a radius. The radius of a circle is drawn from the center to any point in the circumference of the circle. You can draw a circle which encloses the regular polygon touching all vertices. The polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. The apothem will be less than the radius because the radius is not perpendicular to any side, it can be drawn to a vertex but the apothem is perpendicular to a side, so it is shorter. Ex: draw a square with a circle which inscribes it. You can see that the apothem will be less than the radius.
What is inscribed pentagon?
A pentagon is a five sided geometrical figure; if the pentagon fits exactly inside some other geometrical figure (such as a circle) then it can be said to be inscribed in that figure.
What can be said about the relationship between triangle and circles?

What is the property of an object that travels the same distance each second?
Such an object is said to travel at a constant speed. If it doesn't change direction, it is also said to travel at constant velocity.

When the forces on an object cancel each other out the forces are said to be?
unbalanced or balanced forces
A polygon whose sides all have the same length is said to be?
A regular polygon.

What can be said about the relationship between triangle and circles?
Exactly one circle can be inscribed in a given triangle.Many triangular shapes can be inscribed in a given circle.
If net force on an object is zero the forces are said to be what?
balanced --> the forces cancel each other. =================================
Does a polygon have to have equal sides?
No, it does not. A polygon is an enclosed plane area whose boundaries comprise straight lines. There is no requirement for the sides to be equal. If they are, the polygon is said to be equilateral.
What does it mean when you say a polygon is regular?
A polygon is regular when all its sides are the same length and its internal angles are the same. It is said to be equilateral and equiangular, and that is what a polygon is when it is regular.
