Choose the following consistent sign convention. The Givens rotation equals the identity matrix except for the block on coordinates :
Thus it changes only the th and th coordinates of a vector. Write , . Its two-coordinate block satisfies
All remaining coordinates are unchanged, so . Hence every such Givens rotation is an orthogonal matrix. With this convention the two-coordinate rotation matrix rotates through angle .
