Here, $x, y, A, B$ are all real numbers.
I am just having some problems with the algebra of putting it all together to get a solution.
What I have currently is: $z^2 = (x+iy)^2 = x^2 + 2xyi - y^2$
This gives $A = x^2 - y^2$ and $B = 2xy$.
I also know that $|z|^2 = |z^2|$, which gives:
$|x+iy|^2 = |A+Bi|$ => $x^2+y^2 = \sqrt{(A^2+B^2)}$.
I know that I must be making some silly error (either in the above calculations or when I try substituting things in) but I keep going in circles with my algebra and not able to get a final answer. How should I proceed from here?
