What is wrong with using an abbreviation?

Re the question below I was marked wrong for using "2m" instead of "2 mètres"? Yet I've seen this abbreviation used in other questions. Surely the question was testing my knowledge of dimension words and my answer is correct?
La voiture de Jim fait ________.Jim's car is 2 meters wide.2 mètres de large 2m de large

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing dimensions and measurements in French (French Numbers)"

There is a "report a problem" button top left of the lesson.

This is the best way to get an explanation as to why your answer was not considered to be correct.
