What is the difference between an inscribed and a circumscribed shape?
Inscribed has the vertices n the circle.Circumscribed has the sides tangent to the circle.
Circumscribed; something drawn the OUTSIDE of a shape. Inscribed; Something drawn around the INSIDE of a 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.
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing shape.
The maximum area of a circumscribed rectangle depends on the shape of the figure it surrounds. For a given perimeter, the rectangle achieves maximum area when it is a square, as this configuration maximizes the product of its length and width. If the dimensions of the circumscribed shape are known, the area can be calculated accordingly, but generally, the principle remains that a square shape offers the largest area for a given perimeter.

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.
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing 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.
There's no difference. They're the same thing.
None
All geometric shapes can be inscribed in a circle, since the circle is bigger than the other geometric shape inscribed in it. (Obviously)
the shape
geometric shape is r
There is no difference in shape.Only difference is that there is no
