The magnitude of the complex number is \"sqrt%28%28-4%29%5E2+%2B+b%5E2%29+=+8\". Simplifying,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16+%2B+b%5E2+=+64\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5E2+=+48\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+0+%2B-+sqrt%2848%29+=+0+%2B-+4sqrt%283%29\". Note that b must be positive since the angle is between 0 and 180, so \"b+=+4sqrt%283%29\".
