A lineal foot is just an expression for a straight line, so a lineal foot is in fact just 1 foot long in a straight line. So, if you need 143 lineal feet of fence, you need 143 feet on the ground.

CORRECTION: Actually "a lineal foot" would be referring to someone's left or right foot (like your grandmother) since the term lineal refers to ancestry or heredity.

The correct term is LINEAR foot which is the same as a foot as far as measurement is concerned.

What would 21000 feet of lineal foot of fencing be?

The statement "21000 feet of lineal foot of fencing" is incorrectly worded. At some point in time someone decided that LINEAL was a descriptive word that should be used to describe a unit of measure. Lineal refers to ancestry or heredity - so the definition of a "lineal foot" would mean someone's foot (like your grandmother) that is related to you. The correct term for measurement is actually LINEAR, i.e., one (1) linear foot equals twelve (12) inches. Linear feet and feet are the same measurement. Therefore, 1 foot equals 1 linear foot.

This can not be answered without more information. You need to know the width of the item being measured by length (which is what lineal foot refers to). If it is a roll of carpet 25 feet wide, you would need 100 lineal feet to cover 2500 sqare feet. If it is a 2.5 foot counter top, you would need 1000 lineal feet. Divide 2500 by the width in feet of the material being measured and you will get the number of lineal feet required.
