The YÇD Company needs to connect 10 mainframe (A-J) computers with cables in a network as shown in the Figure below. The network can take any form, as long as each computer is connected with at least one other computer. All physically possible connections between nodes are shown in the figure below with distances in meters indicated at each cable. Realize the network at minimum cost, which means a minimal total length of cables.
