I not sure of how to calculate the average speed of the car from point A to D.

However, i've tried to solve it and my answer is 25m/s.

Is it correct?

To find the average speed we

To find the average speed we just need to find total distance covered from point A to D and divide by total time till point D

 

Area of Quad OABK

= 1/2 ( 6+10) * 4 = 32

Area of Quad KCDM

= 1/2 ( 6+12) * 12 = 108

 

Sum of these two = 108+32 =140

Average speed = distance / time = 140 /16 = 8.75 m/s
