Step 1: A=[cos⁡θsin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θ]A=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\theta&\sin\theta\\-\sin\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}.

Step 2: ∣A∣=cos⁡θ⋅cos⁡θ−(−sin⁡θ)⋅sin⁡θ=cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ|A|=\cos\theta\cdot\cos\theta-(-\sin\theta)\cdot\sin\theta=\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta.

Step 3: By the Pythagorean identity, cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1 for every real θ\theta. …
