Welcome to the PF. :smile:

It looks pretty straightforward, but it would help if you could define a few of the terms for us. It looks like a transmission line calculation for a reflection at an impedance boundary? Are you mainly asking for help understanding the rectangular/polar forms of the equations?

The trick to solving a problem with a ratio of complex numbers is to multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator (this makes the denominator real). Let ##\alpha = 0.1029## and ##\beta=120.94##. We have,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1+\alpha e^{j\beta}) }{(1-\alpha e^{j\beta})}$$I hope you can see that the complex conjugate of the denominator is ##1-\alpha e^{-j\beta}## Therefore,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1+\alpha e^{j\beta} )}{(1-\alpha e^{j\beta})}\frac{(1-\alpha e^{-j\beta} )}{(1-\alpha e^{-j\beta})}\\
=50\frac{(1+\alpha (e^{j\beta}-e^{-j\beta})- \alpha^2)}{(1-\alpha (e^{j\beta}+e^{-j\beta})+ \alpha^2)}$$Recall that$$
\cos(\beta)=\frac{e^{j\beta}+e^{-j\beta}}{2}\\
\sin(\beta)=\frac{e^{j\beta}-e^{-j\beta}}{2j}$$
Thus we have,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1-\alpha^2 + 2j\sin (\beta))}{(1+\alpha^2 - 2\cos (\beta))}$$

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
