Consider the m × n grid graph and assume m, n ≥ 2. Recall that we showed in lecture that this graph has mn vertices and 2mn − m − n edges. This graph is clearly connected. Calculate D, the maximum number of edges that can be deleted from this graph without disconnecting it. Justify your answer. Then describe (informally) which D edges of the graph you can delete without disconnecting it (there is more than one such set of D edges)

Consider the m × n grid graph and assume m, n ≥ 2. Recall that we showed in lecture that
this graph has mn vertices and 2mn − m − n edges. This graph is clearly connected. Calculate
D, the maximum number of edges that can be deleted from this graph without disconnecting
it. Justify your answer. Then describe (informally) which D edges of the graph you can delete
without disconnecting it (there is more than one such set of D edges)
