Which of the following statements are correct for rotation matrix?

1)The transpose of a rotation matrix is NOT a rotation matrix.

2)The transpose of a rotation matrix is also a rotation matrix.

3)The row vectors of a rotation matrix are mutually orthogonal.

4)The row vectors of a rotation matrix are all unit vectors.

5)The inverse of a rotation matrix is the same as the transpose of the rotation matrix

WHAT I THINK.

A) INCORRECT

[FONT=&quot]B. The transpose of a rotation matrix is also a rotation matrix. [/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Correct[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]C. The row vectors of a rotation matrix are mutually orthogonal. [/FONT]

Can the experts at matrices, and math on this forum please correct me if I am wrong. Through my online research and reading I personally think these are the correct answers? Give me your thoughts please and let me know if I was right or wrong. [/FONT]
