Answer

Solving the expression, we get \( |z| = \sqrt{25} \).

Steps

Step 1 :The magnitude of a complex number \( z = a + bi \) is given by the formula \( |z| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \).

Step 2 :Substituting \( a = 3 \) and \( b = 4 \) into the formula, we get \( |z| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} \).

Step 3 :Solving the expression, we get \( |z| = \sqrt{9 + 16} \).

Step 4 :Solving the expression, we get \( |z| = \sqrt{25} \).
