Answer:
20 meters.
Explanation:
In the graph, the x-axis (the horizontal axis) represents the time, while the y-axis (the vertical axis) represents the distance.
If we want to find the distance covered in the first T seconds, you need to find the value T in the horizontal axis.
Once you find it, we draw a vertical line, in the point where this vertical line touches the graph, we now draw a horizontal line. This horizontal line will intersect the y-axis in a given value. That value is the total distance travelled by the time T.
In this case, we want to find the total distance that David ran in the first 4 seconds.
Then we need to find the value 4 seconds in the horizontal axis. Now we perform the above steps, and we will find that the correspondent y-value is 20.
This means that in the first 4 seconds, David ran a distance of 20 meters.
