(2+2i)(1i)=4

Explanation:

Let z1=2+2i And z2=1i
Then the moduli are z1=22+22=22
and z2=1+1=2
Rewrite the numbers
z1=2+2i=22(12+i2)=22(cosθ1+isinθ1)
Here θ1=π4
so z1=22(cos(π4)+isin(π4))=22eiπ4
Similarly
z2=1i=2(12i2)=2(cosθ2isinθ2)
θ2=π4

so z2=2(cos(π4)+isin(π4))=2eiπ4
so the result is z1z2=22eiπ42eiπ4=4
