A chicken farmer wishes to provide electric power to each chicken house on his farm by installing buried electrical power lines. The graph below illustrates the locations of the houses and the distances between them in feet. Use Kruskal's algorithm to determine how the farmer should dig channels in order to minimize the amount of digging. Also determine the minimum total length of channels that must be dug.
