Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To connect all nodes, we can use the minimum spanning tree algorithm. Starting from any node, we can choose the minimum distance edge that connects to an unvisited node, until all nodes are visited. The minimum spanning tree in Figure 4 has a total distance of 26, which is achieved by choosing the edges with distances of 2, 4, 1, 5, 7, and 7. Therefore, the minimum distance required to connect all nodes is 26.
