The geometric interpretation of the determinant of a matrix 2x2

Consider the unit square of two dimensional space . Multiply a column by a scalar. Multiply each column vector by scalars. Then, change a single column vector and so on The absolute value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix represents the area of the parallelogram spanned by the column vectors of the matrix.
