Whhat is the difference between an inscribed and an circumscribed shape?
Inscribed has the vertices n the circle.Circumscribed has the sides tangent to the circle.
How do you circumscribed and inscribed compare?
Circumscribed; something drawn the OUTSIDE of a shape. Inscribed; Something drawn around the INSIDE of a shape.
What are the five differences between inscribed and circumscribed?
I can only think of one myself, it explains the gist of the question. In my experience, INSCRIBED shapes or figures lie INSIDE of something else; while CIRCUMSCRIBED figures are the OUTSIDE shape in the same instance. As they are interchangable depending on which of the shape(s) you're discussing, it is also not necessary (though often assumed) that one of the shapes be a circle.
What shape is inside of another shape?
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing shape.
What is the difference between a two dimensional shape and a solid shape?
the difference between a two dimensional shape and and a solid is that a two dimensional shape is plane and a solid you can see the whole shape a the inside.

What does within which the circle was circumscribed mean?
There is a contradiction in the question. A circumscribed circle is the smallest circle that will contain the shape in question. For example, the circumcircle (circumscribing circle) of a triangle is the smallest one which will contain the triangle. However, the question refers to "within which the circle" which would imply an inscribed circle. This is the biggest circle that can be wholly enclosed within the shape in question. The two are obviously not the same and the question needs to be clear as to which one of the two is intended.
What shape is inside of another shape?
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing shape.
What is the difference between a two dimensional shape and a solid shape?
the difference between a two dimensional shape and and a solid is that a two dimensional shape is plane and a solid you can see the whole shape a the inside.
What is the difference between a plane shape and a 2d shape?
None
What is the difference between aplane shape and a 2d shape?
There's no difference. They're the same thing.
Is it possible that a parallelogram be inscribed in a circle?
All geometric shapes can be inscribed in a circle, since the circle is bigger than the other geometric shape inscribed in it. (Obviously)
What is the difference between a rhombus and a kite?
