Finding displacement given Velocity Vs. Time Graph

Question: Velocity v. Time Calculations
In order to calculate the total distance traveled (sometimes is the same as net displacement) from a velocity v. time graph, we find the total area under the line. Divide the area into triangles and rectangles and add the areas. Area =12base height      Area ▭=length width Practice: If the graph above was a car traveling from home to school, what would be the total distance traveled from 0 to 10 seconds? Show your work. What would be the distance traveled from 0 to 4 seconds?
