Abstract
A generalisation of the determinant to rectangular matrices, known as the determinant-like function, has its magnitude defined previously. In this paper, we show that the determinant-like function is a rotation of the vector determinant.We further propose that this rotation is an identity transformation and thus the determinant-like function is in fact the same as the vector determinant. From this, we derive some properties of the determinant-like function.
