A is an orthogonal matrix if AAT=I

Explanation:

An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix with real elements that have the property of his inverse is equal to his transpose matrix, i.e.:

A1=AT

The absolut value of the determinant of any orthogonal matrix is always 1. An orthogonal matrix have an associated linear transformation that is an isometry in Euclidean space, i.e. preserves the distances.
