Distance

The graph shows the velocity−time graph of a uniformly moving body.

Let the velocity of the body at time (t) be v.

Area of the shaded region = length × breath

Where, Length = t, Breath = v

Area = vt = velocity × time …(i)

∴ Distance = Velocity × Time…(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii), Area = Distance

Hence, the area occupied below the velocity−time graph measures the distance covered by the body.
