Whether or not you need to use sand as a base in laying a sidewalk depends upon what you are laying it with. For example, if you were using bricks, it would be better to use a sand base to prevent the bricks from shifting over time.

How much cement is needed to build a sidewalk that is 132 inches long 24 inches wideand 3 inches think?
Well, you make a sidewalk from concrete, not just cement. Concrete consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. You will need 5.5 cubic feet of concrete. A standard sidewalk grade of concrete would be 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 3 parts gravel- so the sidewalk needs 0.91 cu ft of cement- about 87 pounds worth- plus sand and gravel. If you want to buy the premixed bags of concrete (like Sacrete), you will need about 17 of the 40 pounds bags. And you did not ask, but 3 inches is kind of skinny- I would go for at least a 4 inch thick sidewalk.

Should a sidewalk be made of cement or concrete?
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
