Inscribe
In
geometry, an inscribed
planar shape or
solid is one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside another geometric shape or solid. Specifically, there must be no object
similar to the inscribed object but larger and also enclosed by the outer figure.Familiar examples include
circles inscribed in
polygons, and
triangles or
regular polygons inscribed in circles.More precisely, in the phrase "an inscribed F of X", the outer figure X is supposed to be a given, specific figure (such as, for example, "the circle centered at A with radius r"), whereas F stands for a class of figures (such as, for example, "triangle"). Of these figures, an inscribed one is a figure of maximal size among those of the same shape enclosed by X. Usually it is unique in size, but not necessarily in position and orientation.
