Apply Kruskal's Algorithm to the following graph to determine a Minimum Spanning Tree. Kruskal's algorithm is an edge oriented algorithm. SHOW YOUR WORK AS YOU APPLY KRUSKAL'S ALGORITHM. THAT IS, LIST THE EDGES IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE ADDED TO THE TREE. WHAT IS THE COST OF THE MINIMAL SPANNING TREE? INDICATE BELOW (DRAW) THE RESULTING MINIMAL SPANNING TREE. TRACE: List below the edges of the graph in the order in which they were added to the MST In the space below, draw the resulting MST -OR- Clearly indicate the MST in the graph above

Use Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms to find minimum spanning trees (MST) of the below weighted graph. In a table, provide information about edges chosen at each iteration along with the weight and find the total weight. Draw out the minimum spanning trees.
