Why is the distance 54m?image-8081e38f-1423-4e69-b8e4-88ca465f6a422402482819198059824-compressed.jpg.jpegimage-7195869b-1418-4bbb-ad48-db9a0003e3ca3747500762030167057-compressed.jpg.jpeg

The area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement
If something had negative velocity what does this suggests about the direction it is travelling and how would this affect what you would do for the area under the curve?
Find the area of the graph from 0-6s then 6-10s and then 10-20s. The area under the graph will be negative as the question asks you the distance away from the start.
