labeled 'Odd Numbers', the other circle could be labeled 'Two Digit Numbers' the overlapping portion must contain
numbers that are odd and have two digits. Thus, the overlapping portions shows the relationship between the sets. (Can
be more than 2 circles.)

occupy a space. A measurement of capacity or volume.
