Sketch a velocity graph and label the axes with the correct units.
Shade the area under the curve for
. What does this area represent? The area represents distance traveled (or displacement) between
and . What are the units of the area? Explain how you know.
The shape is a trapezoid.
The two bases represent velocity in (mph). The height of the trapezoid is time, in hours.
Evaluate the area of the trapezoid simplifying the units.
