I need to apply 5vh to border-bottom in CSS

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
In step 58 of the city skylines tutorial, it asks that the 1vw value applied to the border-bottom of .bb2a is changed to 5vh. In my code, I rewrote it as such, but it says that 5vh needs to be applied in order for the code to pass the test.

Here is what it originally looked like:
.bb2a {
border-bottom: 1vw solid #000;
border-left: 5vw solid transparent;
border-right: 5vw solid transparent;
}

And here is what is in my code now:
.bb2a {
border-bottom: 5vh solid var(–building-color2);
border-left: 5vw solid transparent;
border-right: 5vw solid transparent;
}

  **Your code so far**

Your code should be passing, is it not passing for you?

I get the same message although I changed “border-bottom” property of “.bb2a”
to 5vh.

Some incorrect syntax here.
In earlier steps you gave plenty of colors to your elements, and you used variables for this.
No worries about 5vh.

As said, this --building-color2 is a variable. You are missing something in its usage.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
