$|A| = 1 (1 \times 1 – \sin \theta\times (-\sin \theta)) – \sin \theta (-\sin \theta+\sin\theta) + 1 [(- \sin \theta)~\times (-\sin \theta )-(-1)\times1]$
$|A| = 1+\sin^2\theta+\sin^2\theta +1$
$|A| = 2 + 2~\sin^2\theta$
$|A| = 2(1 + \sin2\theta)$
Now, 0 $\leq \theta \leq$ 2$\pi$
$\Rightarrow \sin 0 \leq \sin \theta \leq \sin 2 \pi$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin^2 \theta \leq 1$
$\Rightarrow 1 + 0 \leq 1 + \sin^2 \theta \leq 1 + 1$
$\Rightarrow 2 \leq 2(1 + \sin^2 \theta ) \leq 4$
$\therefore$ Det $(A) \in [2, 4]$
$|A| = 1 (1 \times 1 – \sin \theta\times (-\sin \theta)) – \sin \theta (-\sin \theta+\sin\theta) + 1 [(- \sin \theta)~\times (-\sin \theta )-(-1)\times1]$
$|A| = 1+\sin^2\theta+\sin^2\theta +1$
$|A| = 2 + 2~\sin^2\theta$
$|A| = 2(1 + \sin2\theta)$
Now, 0 $\leq \theta \leq$ 2$\pi$
$\Rightarrow \sin 0 \leq \sin \theta \leq \sin 2 \pi$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin^2 \theta \leq 1$
$\Rightarrow 1 + 0 \leq 1 + \sin^2 \theta \leq 1 + 1$
$\Rightarrow 2 \leq 2(1 + \sin^2 \theta ) \leq 4$
$\therefore$ Det $(A) \in [2, 4]$
