Let $\vec { c }$ be the projection vector of $\vec { b } = \lambda \hat { i } + 4 \hat { k } , \lambda > 0$, on the vector $\vec { a } = \hat { i } + 2 \hat { j } + 2 \hat { k }$. If $| \vec { a } + \vec { c } | = 7$, then the area of the parallelogram formed by the vectors $\vec { b }$ and $\vec { c }$ is $\_\_\_\_$
