AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the areas represented by various set operations involving shapes A (rectangle), B (triangle), and C (circle). Participants emphasize the importance of understanding union, intersection, and complement definitions to accurately identify the areas. Initial answers are provided, but some corrections are suggested for specific areas, particularly for intersections involving sets C and the complement of A and B. The conversation highlights collaborative problem-solving and the value of peer feedback in understanding set theory. Overall, the thread illustrates the process of refining answers through discussion and clarification.

in the figureView attachment 1105, the area of the interior of the rectangle represents set A, the triangle set B, the circle Set C, indicate the area represented by

a. $\displaystyle A\cup B$
b. $\displaystyle A\cap B$
c. $\displaystyle A\cap C$
d. $\displaystyle B\cup C$
e. $\displaystyle \left(A\cup B\right)\cap C'$
f. $\displaystyle \left(A\cup B\right)'\cap C$

I'm not sure if I drew the picture correctly because I'm using a black and white printed book.

any hints how to start the problem? thanks!

First, I would ask you if you understand the definitions of union, intersection, and complement?

Once you understand the meanings of these operations, you should be able to shade in the appropriate areas for each statement.

So, can you give a brief definition of the above operations?
 
yes I understood it. here are my answersView attachment 1106

please check if it is correct.

I find that c) and e) are not quite correct. Can you spot the missing areas?
