Answer:
absolute value of the determinant, adjacent to, equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a determinant of the [tex]\text{matrix whose}[/tex] columns are the vectors and they define the [tex]\text{sides}[/tex] of a [tex]\text{parallelogram}[/tex] which is adjacent to one another and is equal to the [tex]\text{area}[/tex] of the [tex]\text{parallelogram}[/tex].
The determinant is a real number. They are like matrices, but we use absolute value bars to show determinants whereas to represent a matric, we use square brackets.
