Given: $(7(cos(23)+isin(23))) (4(cos(7)+isin(7)))$

7 is the magnitude of the first factor and 4 is the magnitude of the second factor.

I multiply the magnitudes:

$7(4) = 28$

$23$ is the angle of the first factor and $7$ is the angle of the second factor.

I add the angles:

$23+7 = 30$

This the process for multiplication in the trigonometric form:

$(7(cos(23)+isin(23))) (4(cos(7)+isin(7)))= 28(cos(30)+isin(30))$
