Let $ a+bsqrt{-1} $ be a non-zero element of the ring of Gaussian integers $ mathbb Z[sqrt{-1}]. $ Show that $ | mathbb Z[sqrt{-1}]/(a+bsqrt{-1}) |=a^2+b^2 $. [Jacobson, Basic Algebra, P202.3]




My attempt:



Since $ mathbb{Z}[sqrt{-1}] $ is a p.i.d. and we can factor $ a+bsqrt{-1} $ into primes: $ a+bsqrt{-1}=p_1^{j_1}p_2^{j_2}...p_n^{j_n} $, $ p_i $ are primes in $ mathbb Z[sqrt {-1}] $, then we only have to prove the case for the primary quotient submodule in the following sense:



$$ | mathbb Z[sqrt{-1}]/(p_i^{j_i}) |=a^2+b^2, ,text{where $ a+bi=p_i^{j_i} $}. $$



From here I am stuck......

          The ideal $(a+bsqrt{-1})$ forms a sublattice of $Bbb Z[sqrt{-1}]$ in the plane. The side length of a mesh square is clearly $sqrt{a^2+b^2}$, so the area of a mesh is $a^2+b^2$ and hence contains essentially $a^2+b^2$ mesh squares of the $Bbb Z[sqrt{-1}]$ lattice.
