In a town three schools A, B, and C are located at the points with coordinates A(2, 3), B(6, 4), and C(6, 2). It is decided that a new school should be built within the town at a point that is farthest from all three existing schools. All coordinates are in km. (18 points) a. Explain why the new school should be at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the line segments [AB], [BC], and [AC]. b. Find the equations of the perpendicular bisector of: i. Line segment [BC] ii. Line segment [AC] c. Hence find the coordinates of the point where the new school should be built. d. Determine how far the new school will be from each of the other schools.

Use Prim's algorithm to compute the minimum spanning tree for the weighted graph. Start the algorithm at vertex A. Explain and justify each step as you add an edge to the tree. Figure 10: A weighted graph shows 5 vertices, represented by circles, and 6 edges, represented by line segments. Vertices A, B, C, and D are placed at the corners of a rectangle, whereas vertex E is at the center of the rectangle. The edges, A B, B D, A C, C D, A E, and E C, have the weights, 7, 3, 2, 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
