 Solution

The columns of $R_z$ are an orthonormal basis, since ${\cos }^2\varphi +{\sin }^2\varphi =1$ and the first two columns have zero dot product. Thus $R_z^T{R}_z=I$: it is an orthogonal matrix. Consequentlyand hence $\boxed{|{\mathbf{v}}^{\prime }|=|\mathbf{v}|}$. This is the preservation of the Euclidean norm by a rotation matrix.
