Draw a graph that has 4 vertices and 8 edges

Draw the graph that has 4 vertices such that
deg(A) = 3, deg(B) = 5, deg(C) = 2, deg(D) = 2.

Redraw this graph as a planar graph.

Complete the table of vertices (V), regions (R) and edges (E) for the 3
connected planar graphs.

Write down
Eulers rule for

graphs.

Use Eulers rule to determine the number of edges in a connected planar

graph with 40 vertices and 42 regions.

Explain why the Eulerian path for this graph could not be drawn.

Explain why the Eulerian circuit for this graph is possible.

A courier supplies, daily, the parcels to outlets A, B, C, D, E and F from

a parcel distribution centre W. The distances (in km) along the roads are
shown on the graph. Determine the shortest delivery route and the
distance to each parcel outlet if the courier returns to the centre.
