WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Lesson 1: VENN DIAGRAM
To visualize the interaction of sets, John Venn in 1880 thought to use overlapping
circles, building on a similar idea used by Leonhard Euler in the eighteenth century. These
illustrations now called Venn Diagrams. A Venn diagram represents each set by a circle,
usually drawn inside of a containing box representing the universal set. Overlapping areas
indicate elements common to both sets.

Lesson 2: WORD PROBLEMS ON SETS

USING THE VENN DIAGRAM
Sample Problem 1
Among the 50 kids in Barangay Masisit, 33 like eating in Infinitea while 32 like eating in
Mr. Donut.
a. Illustrate the problem in Venn diagram.
b. How many like eating both in Infinitea and in Mr. Donut?
Solution:
U Infinitea Mr. Donut
a.

b. 15 kids like to eat18

both 15 17 and in Mr. Donut
in Infinitea

Sample Problem 2
 A group of 25 high school students were asked whether they use either Facebook or
Twitter or both. Fifteen of these students use Facebook and twelve use Twitter.
a. How many use Facebook only?
b. How many use Twitter only?
c. How many use both social networking sites?

Solution:
Let S1 = set of students who use Facebook only
S2 = set of students who use both social networking sites
S3 = set of students who use Twitter only

The Venn diagram is shown below.

FACEBOOK TWITTER

S1 S2 S3

This time, a Venn diagram is given and you are asked to interpret the data presented.
