Classify the following matrices: (i) $\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 6 \\ 8 & 7 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ (ii) $\left[ \begin{matrix} 7 & 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$
Classify the following matrices: (i) $\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 6 \\ 8 & 7 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ (ii) $\left[ \begin{matrix} 7 & 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$

(i) Row of the given matrix $=3$

Column of the given matrix $=2$

So, order of the given matrix is, $3\times 2$.

Hence, the matrix is a rectangular matrix $=3\times 2$.

(ii)

Row of the given matrix $=1$

Column of the given matrix $=2$

So, order of the given matrix is, $1\times 2$.

Hence, the matrix is a rectangular matrix $=1\times 2$.
