How do you simplify #abs(0.2 + 0.8i)#? Precalculus Complex Numbers in Trigonometric Form Complex Number Plane 1 Answer sente Feb 9, 2016 #|0.2+0.8i|=sqrt(0.68)=0.82621...# Explanation: The modulus of a complex number #a+bi#, denoted #|a+bi|#, is #sqrt(a^2+b^2)# Then, in this case, #|0.2+0.8i|=sqrt(0.2^2+0.8^2)# #=sqrt(0.04+0.64)# #=sqrt(0.68)# #=0.824621...# Answer link Related questions What is the complex number plane?
