Circumscribed; something drawn the OUTSIDE of a shape. Inscribed; Something drawn around the INSIDE of a shape.
circumscribed means the polygon is drawn around a circle, and inscribed means the polygon is drawn inside the circle. See related links below for polygon circumscribed about a circle and polygon inscribed in a circle.
== == Inscribed is a polygon inside a circle with all points on a given point in the circle. Circumscribed is a circle inside a polygon with any given point touching just one point on the polygon. Hope this helped.

When rectangles are inscribed, they lie entirely inside the area you're calculating. They never cross over the curve that bounds the area. Circumscribed rectangles cross over the curve and lie partially outside of the area. Circumscribed rectangles always yield a larger area than inscribed rectangles.
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.
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing shape.
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.
A square inscribed in a circle is often referred to as a "circumscribed square." In this configuration, all four vertices of the square touch the circumference of the circle. The circle is known as the circumcircle of the square, and its radius is equal to the distance from the center of the circle to any of the square's vertices.
