The total length needed is $\qquad$ feet.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle
The total length of fencing needed is equal to the perimeter of the rectangular kennel. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
In this case, the length is 22 feet and the width is 14 feet. So, the perimeter is 2 * (22 + 14) = 2 * 36 = 72 feet.
