Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
56 = 14*4
length = 14
width = 4
If each tile is 2x2, then the area of each tile is 4 square meters. You need 14 of these tiles. You can lay them out in a 7 by 2 grid
This drawing probably describes what I'm talking about better than what words can do
Final Answer: 14 tiles
