Prove that if G is a tree with an even number of edges, then G must contain at least one vertex of even degree

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices. Show that a) $G$ is a tree if and only if it is connected and has $n-1$ edges. b) $G$ is a tree if and only if $G$ has no simple circuits and has $n-1$ edges. $[\text { Hint: To show that } G \text { is connected }$ if it has no simple circuits and $n-1$ edges, show that $G$ cannot have more than one connected component. $]$
