To find the magnitude (or absolute value) of a complex number, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The magnitude of a complex number is the square root of the sum of the squares of its real and imaginary parts.
In this case, the complex number is d = -10 - 24i.
The real part of d is -10 and the imaginary part is -24.
So, the magnitude of d, denoted by |d|, can be calculated as follows:
|d| = √((-10)^2 + (-24)^2)
|d| = √(100 + 576)
|d| = √676
|d| = 26
Therefore, the magnitude of the complex number d is |d| = 26.
