ACT SAT Prep Identify the maximum number of sections with three circles venn diagram

The video tutorial explains how to determine the maximum number of regions that can be created with three overlapping circles. It begins by identifying the sections formed by two circles and then explores the addition of a third circle to maximize the number of regions. The tutorial provides different perspectives on how circles intersect and concludes with a summary of the process for identifying the maximum number of regions.
