From the given graph, find the distance covered in the region ABCE.

Answer:

Distance covered in the region ABCE = Area of triangle ABF + area of trapezium BCEF \[=\frac{1}{2}\times AF\times BF+\frac{1}{2}\times CG\times (BF\times CE)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times (16-12)(14+16)\] \[=84+40=124m\]
