Mathematically, the area underneath the graph of a curve is the value you get by integrating that curve. From classical mechanics, one knows that the integral of an object's velocity with respect to time gives you that object's position as a function of time. Thus, the area underneath the velocity time graph from one point in time to another is the change in position of that object between those two times or, it's distance traveled.
