Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Noah has pins at 2 + 7i and -1 + 6i. Leave it as a square root. What is the distance between them?

  2. Ren's robot drives straight from 6 + 2i to 4 − 5i. Leave it as a square root. How far does it drive?

  3. Tala finds the distance between -3 + 6i and 3 + 5i. Leave it as a square root. What is the distance?

  4. Zee has two pins on a grid map, at 6 + 2i and 4 − 5i. Which is farther from 0?

    • 4 − 5i
    • 6 + 2i
    • They are the same distance from 0
  5. Esme's kites are drawn at 7 + i and 5 + 5i. Which is farther from 0?

    • They are the same distance from 0
    • 5 + 5i
    • 7 + i, since its real part is bigger
  6. Jun's two robots park at -2 + 8i and 6 − 5i. Which is farther from 0?

    • 6 − 5i
    • They are the same distance from 0
    • -2 + 8i
  7. Kira compares 9 − 2i and -7 + 6i on a puzzle card. Which is farther from 0?

    • They are the same distance from 0
    • 9 − 2i
    • -7 + 6i
  8. Luz starts at 1 + 2i, and the halfway point of the trip is 3 − i. Where does the trip end, in a + bi form?

  9. Milo's kite string starts at -4 + 3i, and its middle is at -1 + 5i. Where does it end, in a + bi form?

  10. Pia knows one end of a segment is -5 − 3i and its midpoint is i. What is the other end, in a + bi form?

About this worksheet

The complex plane, and the absolute value of a complex number. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can plot a + bi and name a point as a + bi.
  • I can find |a + bi|, the distance from 0, with a right triangle.
  • I can find the distance and the midpoint between two complex numbers.

Standard: N-CN.B.4 (+), N-CN.B.5 (+), N-CN.B.6 (+)

Words to know

complex plane: A grid: real numbers across, i numbers up.

midpoint: The point halfway between two points.

distance: The length of the straight segment between two points.

Common mistakes

Your child swapped the two parts: the real part goes across and the i part goes up.

Your child got the sign of the i part wrong: below the real axis is negative.

Your child stopped at the distance squared and did not take the square root.

What to say

Ask: which number tells how far across?

Ask: is this point above or below the across line?

Ask: which number times itself gives this?

Questions parents ask
