density functional theory – Magnitude of wave vector in hexagonal unit cell

I want to calculate magnitude of k point(in Brillouin zone) of graphene which has hexagonal unit cell. The lattice parameters of graphene are given below:
density functional theory – Magnitude of wave vector in hexagonal unit cell

If I consider the folloing k point

cart. coord. in units 2pi/alat  
k(   44) = (   0.3000000   0.5773503   0.0000000), wk =   0.0300000

How can I calculate the magnitude of the |k| in the hexagonal reciprocal unit cell? considering that I know the value of (kx, ky, 0). The lattice is a parallelogram so that |k| does NOT simply equal to sqrt(kx^2+ky^2), right?
