.


The number of used bricks is    5*9*9*4 - 12 = 1608.


The area covered by all the used bricks is    1608*32 = 51456 square inches.


The length of the path is the area divided by the width,  which is  4 ft,  or  48 inches.


So,  the length of the path is    {{{51456/48}}} = 1072 inches,    or    {{{1072/12}}} = 89{{{1/3}}} ft.
