Answer

Next, we calculate the magnitude of the complex number using the formula |z|=Re(z)2+Im(z)2, where Re(z) is the real part of z and Im(z) is the imaginary part of z. So, |z|=(322)2+(322)2=182+182=18=32.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we substitute θ=π4 into the complex number, so z=3cos(π4)+3isin(π4)=322+3i22=322+322i.

Step 2 :Next, we calculate the magnitude of the complex number using the formula |z|=Re(z)2+Im(z)2, where Re(z) is the real part of z and Im(z) is the imaginary part of z. So, |z|=(322)2+(322)2=182+182=18=32.
