Answer:
Use a tape measure to mark a 100-foot course on flat ground. Walk at a normal speed from one end of the course to the other, counting your steps as you go. Divide the total number of steps into 100, and you'll find out the length of one step. For example, if you took 50 steps to go 100 feet, your step length is 2 feet.

Answer:
The size of the foot and hand varies from person to person. If footsteps or hand span of two persons are used to measure the length respectively, then the two distances may not be equal. Thus, a footstep or hand span are not the constant quantities. Hence, they cannot be used as a standard unit of length.
