For a matrix AA with orthogonal columns (but not necessarily normalized), the Gram matrix G=ATAG = A^T A satisfies det⁡(G)=(det⁡(A))2\det(G) = (\det(A))^2. If AA is 3×33 \times 3 with orthogonal columns of norms ∥c1∥=2\|\mathbf{c}_1\| = 2, ∥c2∥=3\|\mathbf{c}_2\| = 3, ∥c3∥=4\|\mathbf{c}_3\| = 4, what is det⁡(G)\det(G)?
