a) What is the minimum number of pieces of wire needed in order to weld a cube’s frame?
b) What is the maximum length of a piece of wire that can be cut from this frame? (The length of the edge of the cube is 1 cm).
Prove that in a bipartite planar graph \(E \geq 2F\), if \(E \geq 2\) (\(E\) is the number of edges, \(F\) is the number of regions).
