What is an area?

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. It is measured in square units such as cm², m², and so on. To find the area of a square formula or another quadrilateral, multiply its length by its width.

The area of the L block will be the sum of the area of A and B. Therefore, the area can be written as,

Area of L block = Area of A + Area of B

                          = (7×2) units² + (1 × 5) units²

                          = 14units² + 5units²

                          = 19units²

Hence, the correct option is D.
