The length of the rod is 27 feet.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other.

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = length * width

Let the length of the rectangle be x, since the width is 14 feet, hence:

Area = x * 14

378 = 14x

x = 27 feet

Hence the length of the rod is 27 feet.
