Answer:

Area of the sidewalk = [tex]6 feet^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the square land = 4a = 24 feet

Side of the square land = a = 24/4 = 6 feet

Now, length of the sidewalk is 6 feet and its width is given as 1 foot.

So, area of sidewalk = length × width

= 6 × 1 = [tex]6 feet^{2}[/tex]

Hence, area of the sidewalk = [tex]6 feet^{2}[/tex]
