\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a network of roads through eight villages, \(\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B } , \mathrm { C } , \mathrm { D } , \mathrm { E } , \mathrm { F } , \mathrm { G }\) and H . The number on each arc is the length of that road in km .
  1. Use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from A to H. State your shortest route and its length.
    (5) There is a fair in village C and you cannot drive through the village. A shortest route from A to H which avoids C needs to be found.
  2. State this new minimal route and its length.
