My son is working on the angles 1 problem set and typed in the correct answer but did not include the degree symbol (shift+opt+8). He was told his answer was wrong. When he did include the correct answer with the degree symbol, he was still marked incorrect. Your "check answer" steps ends with his answer. Why is his answer not being recognized by the program?
