Explanation:

✨Handspan and cubit cannot be used as a standard unit of length . This is because these are not particular measurements . Like the handspan will vary from person to person and the true value would not be same . ... This is because the distance between them is very large and milimeters are a very small unit of length .

  • Handspan could not be used as a standard unit of measurement since different people had different handspans. The handspan was not of a fixed length but varied from person to person. So it was quite unsuitable for the purpose of  measuring the length of different objects.
