Derivation

1. Initial program 50.59

   \[\frac{\log \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\right)}{\log 10} \]

2. Simplified 0.92

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\log \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right)\right)}{\log 10}} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 50.59	\[ \frac{\log \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\right)}{\log 10} \]
   hypot-def [=>] 0.92	\[ \frac{\log \color{blue}{\left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right)\right)}}{\log 10} \]

3. Final simplification 0.92

   \[\leadsto \frac{\log \left(\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right)\right)}{\log 10} \]
