question 2 of 10
if figure x is inscribed in figure y, which statement must be true?
a. figure x is circumscribed about figure y.
b. figures x and y are triangles.
c. figures x and y are similar.
d. figure y is circumscribed about figure x.

Explanation:

When a figure X is inscribed in figure Y, it means X is drawn inside Y such that all vertices of X touch the interior or boundary of Y. This is equivalent to saying Y is circumscribed (drawn around) X, with Y enclosing X and touching X's key points. Options A reverses this relationship, B is false because inscribed figures don't have to be triangles, and C is false because inscribed figures don't need to be similar.

Answer:

D. Figure Y is circumscribed about figure X.
