Complex Numbers in Polar format

I just installed MathCad and Iā€™m wondering if there is an easy way to display complex numbers in polar format, or even preferable display it in degrees.

For example, say I have a resistor and inductor. R1= 10 and L1 = 10j. I would like to display it as:

R1 + L1 = 14.14 with a 45-degree phase angle.

I see some stuff that might be help from about eight to ten years ago, but I was hoping there is much more simple way with Mathcad 3.1
