It is also known as the scaling factor of the linear transformation that the matrix represents. +When a 3x3 matrix and its rows are comprised of three vectors, the determinant of this 3x3 matrix is the volume of the parallelepiped that is made up of these three vectors. + + + +## Calculation ### Method 1 Consider the following matrix, which we will call A:
