Area of figure is the total number of 1 square unit in the figure. For a rectangle, it is calculated from the product of its length and its width. For this case, we are given:

Width = x
Length = 7x
Area = x(7x) = 7x^2

The coefficient 7 would mean that the length is 7 times longer than the width, x.
