Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Yes, in ancient times, the length of the foot was used to measure distance because there was no instrument to measure distance. So, they used the length of the foot, the width of the finger, the distance of the step, and the width of a man’s thumb. But the problem with this method is that every person has a different size of foot which makes an error in the measurement.
