18. Westward Ho! Here's a map of some states in the western U.S. Describe how you would create a graph model of this map in which each vertex represents a state, then draw it. The Four Color Theorem asserts that it is possible to color the states in this map using at most four colors such that states sharing a bound- ary get different colors. Is it possible to accomplish this coloring with fewer than four colors? If so, describe such a coloring. If not, explain why not. OREGON IDAHO NEVADA UTAH CALIFORNIA ARIZONA
