Complex modulus |z|

Find the modulus (absolute value) of a complex number — its distance from the origin in the complex plane.

z =

Modulus formula

|z| = |a + bi| = √(a² + b²)

|3+4i| = √(9+16) = √25 = 5.

Geometric meaning

The modulus is the distance from z to the origin in the complex plane. It's always non-negative.
