You can certainly inscribe a triangle inside a circle as shown in the attached picture... but I'm not sure what you mean by "fit". There is obviously space left over because a triangle isn't the same shape as a circle...

It depends on the info you have. the triangle could have ezch vertex on teh circle. Pick any 3 points on the circle. Connect them. You have a triangle in the circle. You culd also interpret the question as having a small triangle inside where no vertex touches the circle. And of course if the dimensions are too large, then, no it won't fit.

Yes. Choose any 3 points on the circle, and they define a triangle that fits inside the circle.

Yes! Depends on the sizes of the two, of course.
Any three points can define a triangle.

Yeah you just got to get a circle that fits
