Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
What is the height of the tree?
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram is a representation of a binary tree consisting of the following nodes:
- The root node is 16.
- The left child of 16 is 4.
- The right child of 16 is 21.
- The left child of 4 is 12.
- The right child of 21 is 30.
- The left child of 30 is 28.
**Tree Height Calculation:**
The height of a tree is defined as the number of edges on the longest path from the root to a leaf. In this tree, the height is determined as follows:
- Starting from the root (16), the longest path is 16 -> 21 -> 30 -> 28.
- This path has three edges.
**Options:**
- ○ 2
- ○ 3
- ○ 4
- ○ 1
Correct answer: ○ 3

Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Frontier Nodes in a Tree Structure
#### Question
What nodes are in the frontier?
#### Diagram Explanation
The diagram represents a tree structure with the following nodes:
- Node 16 as the root, with edges pointing to nodes 4 and 21.
- Node 4 has a child node, 12.
- Node 21 has a child node, 30.
- Node 30 has a child node, 28.
#### Answer Options
- ○ node 28
- ○ none of the above
- ○ node 12
- ○ both node 12 and node 18
### Explanation
The frontier of a tree consists of the leaf nodes—nodes that do not have any children. In this diagram:
- Node 12 and node 28 are leaf nodes.
Selecting the correct nodes in the frontier involves identifying which nodes are leaf nodes based on the given structure.
