#6000# square feet.

Explanation:

If in Nathan's front yard, there are #1000# squares and each square has an area of #6# square feet, then multiply #1000# by #6# to find the total area of all the squares of sod.

#1000color(white)(i)"squares"xx(6color(white)(i)"square feet")/"square"#

The unit, "square(s)," cancels out.

#1000color(white)(i)color(red)cancelcolor(black)("squares")xx(6color(white)(i)"square feet")/color(red)cancelcolor(black)("square")#

#=1000xx6color(white)(i)"square feet"#

#=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)6000color(white)(i)"square feet"color(white)(a/a)|)))#
