$A = [\begin{array}{ccc} - 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & - 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & - 1 \end{array}]$

\Rightarrow A^{2} = [\begin{array}{ccc} - 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & - 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & - 1 \end{array}] [\begin{array}{ccc} - 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & - 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & - 1 \end{array}]

= [\begin{array}{ccc} 1 + 0 + 0 & 0 + 0 + 0 & 0 + 0 + 0 \\ 0 + 0 + 0 & 0 + 1 + 0 & 0 + 0 + 0 \\ 0 + 0 + 0 & 0 + 0 + 0 & 0 + 0 + 1 \end{array}]

= [\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}]
