Question

Select whether the triangle is inscribed in the circle, circumscribed about the circle, or neither.

inscribed in the circle
circumscribed about the circle
neither

Answer 1

The circle is inscribed in the triangle. The answer is neither.

Answer 2

Circumscribed about the circle

Explanation:

The answer is "circumscribed about the circle" because when a shape (circle) is inside another shape (triangle), and all sides are touching, that means that the shape inside (circle) is inscribed in the shape that is outside (triangle). By looking at it the other way, the shape on the outside (triangle) is circumscribing, or surrounding, the shape on the inside (circle).

By the way, I got this answer correct on my assignment. The answer key also shows that it is "circumscribed about the circle", so don't worry that this answer might be wrong! :)
