measures

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'bill's hands' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'feet?' is the second definition.
(foot is a kind of measure)

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for measures that I've seen before include "Ascertains the size, of dances?" , "Evaluates" , "Steps" , "amounts" , "Establishes size, mass, etc" .)
