MHB 5 Vertices Denoted by K5 part A

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on drawing the complete graph K5, which consists of 5 vertices. Participants debate the best approach to visually represent the graph, questioning whether to use medium or large squares and whether to orient the graph vertically or horizontally. It is clarified that K5 can be represented as a pentagon with all vertices connected, although the original question does not specify this explicitly. One user provides two different drawings of the graph to illustrate the options. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity in visual representation for understanding the graph structure.

Consider the complete graph with 5 vertices, denoted by K5.

A. Draw the graph

The question I have when drawing this graph with 5 vertices and denote by K5, should I draw, medium, or large squares? Should I draw the graph vertically or horizontally or which would be easier when I have to make sure it has 5 vertices (denoted by K5)?

What you are required to do is simply draw a 'pentagon' with any two vetices connected by a 'line'. I do not understand what you mean by drawing $K_5$ vertically (or horizontally ). Can you please elaborate on this?
 
Caffeinemachine: In response to your questions, I am trying to see what exactly is easier when I draw this graph and to help me understand it as to me reading it. Are you stating that I am suppose to draw a pentagon? I ask this because the question doesn't specify or state that. It states the following:

A.) Consider the complete graph with 5 vertices, denoted by K5. Draw the graph.

When I mean by drawing K5 vertically or horizontally is would it be easier to see straight up and down or going across from left to right.

Here I have drawn it in two different ways. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JaUjGU2cnnnpabDzyT_GQRsq7Uyy_qTRDrsPwrOL9D4/edit?usp=drive_web

One is the 'pentagon' way and the pther is the 'horizontal' way. Tell me if you have further doubts.
