What is the difference between an inscribed and a circumscribed shape?
Any shape is mathematical.
An inscribed shape is inside a circumscribing shape.
Circumscribed; something drawn the OUTSIDE of a shape. Inscribed; Something drawn around the INSIDE of a shape.
No shape is mathematical really unless it has been created by a mathematical formula, but is certainly a geometric shape. But anything which is a 2D or 3D shape is geometric. My improvement: A catenary curve from a mathematical equation such as cosh x, is a mathematical and natural shape. Maby each other arch can be approximated by a mathematical formula.

All geometric shapes can be inscribed in a circle, since the circle is bigger than the other geometric shape inscribed in it. (Obviously)
Inscribed has the vertices n the circle.Circumscribed has the sides tangent to the circle.
Hi there. I have been able to track cross-shaped gravestones back to 1957. Previously, the standard shape of a gravestone was coffin-shaped; however, there were often crosses inscribed on the stone. Today, there is no standard shape of gravestones and we provide them in all shapes including crosses, hearts and book-shaped memorials made from granite or marble. Often our customers request that crosses be inscribed on the gravestones to express the faith of the person being buried.

An inscribed square is a regular polygon with four sides such that each of its vertices is on the boundary of some other shape which lies wholly outside the square.
