### Linear Algebra: Area of a Parallelogram

**Problem Statement:**
Let \( \mathbf{w} = \begin{pmatrix} w_1 \\ w_2 \end{pmatrix} \) and \( \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} v_1 \\ v_2 \end{pmatrix} \). Referring to the image below, show that the area of the parallelogram formed by \( \mathbf{w} \) and \( \mathbf{v} \) is equal to

\[ |w_1 v_2 - w_2 v_1| = \left| \text{det} \begin{pmatrix} w_1 & v_1 \\ w_2 & v_2 \end{pmatrix} \right|. \]

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram provided depicts a parallelogram formed by the vectors \( \mathbf{w} \) and \( \mathbf{v} \) in a coordinate system.

- The x-axis ranges from 0 to approximately 4.
- The y-axis ranges from 0 to approximately 3.5.
- One vertex of the parallelogram is at the origin (0, 0).
- The vector \( \mathbf{w} \) has its tail at the origin and its head at coordinates corresponding to \( \mathbf{w} \).
- Similarly, the vector \( \mathbf{v} \) has its tail at the origin and its head at coordinates corresponding to \( \mathbf{v} \).
- Two additional vertices of the parallelogram are located where the tip of \( \mathbf{w} \) is added to \( \mathbf{v} \), and the tip of \( \mathbf{v} \) is added to \( \mathbf{w} \).

### Analytical Explanation:

To calculate the area of the parallelogram defined by \( \mathbf{w} \) and \( \mathbf{v} \):

1. **Vectors:** Represent the vectors in 2D space as
   \[
   \mathbf{w} = \begin{pmatrix} w_1 \\ w_2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} v_1 \\ v_2 \end{pmatrix}.
   \]

2. **Determinant:** The area \( A \) of
