Units

This is a complete overview of the units available for scripting in Algebrakit.

Many units can be written in one of several ways. This overview lists the available units, their full name if the unit is listed as an abbreviation, and any English-language alternative names. Students may type their answers using any of those alternatives.

Note

Many units allow students to type their response as a word, like "percent", "degree" or "millimeter", rather than "%", "°" or "mm". If your language is set to one of the languages other than English that Algebrakit supports, students have to use equivalent words in that language in their answers.
