Represent points of the plane by complex numbers, and let t=4+3it = 4+3i. Starting from the point 00, compare two procedures: Procedure A translates by tt and then rotates 90∘90^\circ counterclockwise about the origin; Procedure B rotates 90∘90^\circ counterclockwise about the origin first and then translates by tt. Find the distance between the two final points produced by Procedures A and B.
