A distance-time graph for a short bus journey shows the following information from the start of the journey:
0 to 10 minutes: bus is stationary at 0 km.
10 to 25 minutes: bus travels at a steady speed and reaches 6 km at 25 minutes.
25 to 30 minutes: bus is stationary for a short stop.
30 to 40 minutes: bus travels and reaches 10 km at 40 minutes.
Work out the total distance travelled by the bus from 0 to 40 minutes.
