CSS CSS Foundations Values and Units Relative Length Units

I'm confused about why I'm getting this question wrong. As suggested, I checked the length unit (em) in my CSS value

I entered the correct length unit, which is em, and I entered the 40 px equivalent of em, which is 2.5em. I double checked my math. What am I missing?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Relative Length Units</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cc1-main-styles.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="box">
        <h1>Let's use Font-Relative Length Units</h1>
        <p>
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod

        </p>
    </div>
    </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Write your CSS code below */

hl {
    font-size: 2.5em;
}

try this ;-)

body h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
}

you need to get the body in it as well

I hope this helps
