finding the unknown in a 3 set venn diagram

This learning resource focuses on teaching students how to utilize three-set Venn diagrams to find unknown values through algebraic reasoning and set theory principles. It outlines the structure of a three-set Venn diagram, including the universal set and the eight distinct regions formed by the overlap of three sets labeled A, B, and C. The document reviews algebraic set notation and provides practice problems along with a detailed solution strategy using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle to avoid double counting overlapping regions. Students will engage in identifying combinations of set intersections, translating word problems into algebraic expressions, and solving for unknown values. Additionally, it includes real-world applications of Venn diagrams in market research and epidemiology, helping students to understand the relevance and utility of this mathematical concept.
