<p>The magnitude of a complex number a + bi is √(a² + b²).</p>
21
<p>The magnitude of a complex number a + bi is √(a² + b²).</p>
23
<p>Here, b = √55i = 7.416i.</p>
22
<p>Here, b = √55i = 7.416i.</p>
24
<p>Thus, the magnitude is √(0² + 7.416²) = √55 ≈ 7.416.</p>
23
<p>Thus, the magnitude is √(0² + 7.416²) = √55 ≈ 7.416.</p>
