It works because displacement is the product of velocity and time. And in our graph when you multiply velocity and time you're basically multiplying two lengths in our graph and that gives us the area. And so that's the secret to calculating displacements and from a velocity time graph.
Displacement-time graphs show the displacement of an object from a fixed origin as it moves in a straight line. They show displacement (on the vertical axis) against time (on the horizontal axis) Displacement-time graphs can go below the horizontal axis whereas distance-time graphs can not.
Its velocity v as a function of time t is given in the graph below where rightwards is the positive velocity direction. At what time does the penguin have the same position as t = 0 s ?

In this explainer, we will learn how to use displacement–time graphs and interpret the slope of the curve as the velocity of the body.
Displacement-time graph - A displacement-time graph shows the change in displacement over a time period. The displacement along a straight line can be positive or negative. Gradient - The gradient on a displacement-time graph gives the instantaneous velocity.
Define position, displacement, and distance traveled. Calculate the total displacement given the position as a function of time. Determine the total distance traveled. Calculate the average velocity given the displacement and elapsed time.
