How to use the arg function for finding the angle

I'm having trouble finding the angle value using the arg function in mathcad. It's giving me .968 when it should the angle 55 degrees. Help!D:

Mathcad returns angles in radians. You need to type 'deg' in the units placeholder (click on the result and you'll see a black 'box' after the 0.968 - type it there). This converts it to degrees.

Alternatively, define a variant of arg that returns its answer in degrees.
