Math Problem Statement
2- The picture below shows a set of points in 2-dimensional space. A grid is provided so that you can compute the distance between points; each grid cell is 1 unit wide and 1 unit tall. You may assume that each data point is placed on a grid intersection. Suppose a weighted distance graph G is constructed from this data set (recall that a distance graph is a complete graph whose nodes represent points in space, and whose edges are weighted by the distance between its endpoints). Then suppose that a minimum spanning tree is computed for G. What will be the weight of the largest edge in this minimum spanning tree? grid details providing data points - (2,6) (5,4) (2,2) (4,2) (12,7) (10,4) (13,5) (12,4) (11,3)
