Answer

If $A=\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$, then the order of the matrix is $1\times 3$.

Work Step by Step

Note that if $A$ is the matrix of size $m\times n$, then the order of the matrix $A$ is $mn$. Consider the matrix, $A=\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 3 & 7 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ This matrix has one row and three columns. Therefore, the order of this matrix is $1\times 3$.
