14 feet x 16 feet = 224 square feet.
14 feet times 16 feet are 224 square feet. Assuming you are using the American method of determining pitch, ie., 8 inch rise per 1 foot run, you need 346.1326 square feet of roofing. It must be just a coincidence, but I got the same result with the ridgeline on the 16 foot length or the 14 foot width.
Area = L x W : 14X16 = 224 SF. Typically you would add 7-10% for breakage & cuts, sometimes adding more depending on the material being used and the pattern being installed. A pattern requiring many cuts (i.e. diagonal, staggered, hopscotch) you may want to add 10-12%, more if natural stone. Also, use Square Footage to purchase materials, not the amount of tiles. Why? A 12X12 is not necessarily a 12X12; some are bigger, some are smaller. Some sizes can get confusing with overseas manufacturing. European tiles are typically Metric, so a 30X30 may really be 30X30 cm, but that's a little smaller than 12X12 in standard measurements.
