First, notice that:
[tex]29\text{ x }56=1624[/tex]
now, we can write 29 as 20 + 9 and 56 as 50 + 6, so, we can draw the following rectangles:
Then, if we calculate the area of each of the rectangles, we get the following:
then, if we add all the areas together, we get:
[tex]1000+120+450+54=1120+504=1624[/tex]
which is the same result as 29 x 56
