Please help with 1.2.4 (highlighted) for Modern ALgebra

Thankyou so much

1.2.1 Derive the two-square identity from the multiplicative property of det.
1.2.2 Write 5 and 13 as sums of two squares, and hence express 65 as a sum of
two squares using the two-square identity.
1.2.3 Using the two-square identity, express 372 and 37ª as sums of two nonzero
squares.
The absolute value |z| = va² +b² represents the distance of z from 0, and
more generally, |u – v| represents the distance between u and v. When combined
with the distributive law,
Z.
u(v – w)
= uv – Uw,
a geometric property of multiplication comes to light.
1.2.4 Deduce, from the distributive law and multiplicative absolute value, that
|uv – uw = |u||v – w|.
Explain why this says that multiplication of the whole plane of complex
numbers by u multiplies all distances by |u|.
1.2.5 Deduce from Exercise 1.2.4 that multiplication of the whole plane of com-
plex numbers by cos 0+ i sin 0 leaves all distances unchanged.
A map that leaves all distances unchanged is called an isometry (from the
Greek for "same measure"), so multiplication by cos 0 +isin 0 is an isometry of
the plane. (In Section 1.1 we defined the corresponding rotation map Re as a linear
map that moves 1 and i in a certain way; it is not obvious from this definition that
a rotation is an isometry.)
