to use them for geeting food and fhighting off preditors
That was someone else's answer. Fighting off predators? Not sure about that, but they have developed long arms to either walk on them or climb with them.
First of all Apes do not have tails.
Monkey: A lot of them use them as a prehensile 5th appendage to help keep their hands/arms free when in the trees eating or foraging. They also aid in balance..
Apes use a locomotion called brachiation, which means using the arms to swing around the branches. Presumably the tail would just get in the way of this mode of locomotion, so if one of the apes had a mutation that results in the loss of the tail, this one individual's descendants are more successful in survival and reproduction than the rest of the population with tails. Over time, only tail-less individuals can be found among the animals we call apes.
To help them compete to the fullest in their environment
So that they can swing from branch to branch while escaping their prey
It's an advantage if you are a specie that does a lot of tree climbing.
To help them swing through the trees.
to help them swing from trees
About 35cm on the average monkey
Primate: Gibbons
A gibbon looks like a money and has long arms and no tail.
Depends on what species of monkeys. No one monkey, no one answer. Sorry. People come in different sizes, and so do monkeys.
They're old since he was in a war long ago.

If you are referring to a brass monkey - a device for holding cannon balls - it could have two, three or four arms, but if you are referring to a live monkey, most would have two arms, unless they have lost one or both.
