Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm: Given below are five data points having two attributes x and y:

Given below are five data points having two attributes x and y:

Observation x y
1 3 2
2 3 5
3 5 3
4 6 4
5 6 7

The distance matrix of the points, indicating the Euclidean distance between points, is as follows:

Label 1 2 3 4 5
1 0.00 3.00 2.24 3.61 5.83
2 3.00 0.00 2.83 3.16 3.61
3 2.24 2.83 0.00 1.41 4.12
4 3.61 3.16 1.41 0.00 3.00
5 5.83 3.61 4.12 3.00 0.00

Take the distance between two clusters as the minimum distance between the points in the two clusters. Based on this information, answer the following questions.
