Shading regions in a two-set Venn diagram
Shading regions in a two-set Venn diagram.
- The rectangle is the universal set. The overlap belongs to both sets.
- Fill the overlap first; subtract it from each set total to find the “only” regions.
- Union means either or both; intersection means both; complement means outside the named set.
Example 1
Shade
See the shaded solution.
The overlap belongs to both sets.
Example 2
Shade
See the shaded solution.
Shade all of both circles, including the overlap.
