My son put sqrt 34 for the answer to this problem, and after asking for all the steps it still will not record the answer as correct and move on.

The triangle says AC=5,BC=3 so my math says sqrt 34 is correct.

I don't know how to get a screen shot of this screen, nor do I know if this report is connected to the problem we are on, I am sorry that I can't provide more details.

thanks
