When do I use |z| = √(a²+b²) in Complex Numbers, and what does it mean?

modulus (distance from origin) of z = a+bi.

|z| = √(a²+b²) — modulus (distance from origin) of z = a+bi. Use it when: any complex number. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

|z| = √(a²+b²)
