In summary, the figure shows the area of the interior of a rectangle representing set A, the triangle representing set B, and the circle representing set C. The area represented by the following statements are:a) A union B, which is the shaded area of both A and B combined.b) A intersection B, which is the overlapping shaded area of A and B.c) A intersection C, which is the overlapping shaded area of A and C.d) B union C, which is the shaded area of both B and C combined.e) (A union B) intersection C', which is the shaded area of A and B combined, intersected with the complement of C.f) (A union B)' intersection C,

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?

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