1.4โVector Products
Dot Product
The scalar value of the dot product is the sum of the product of the vector components
Geometrically, the scalar value is the length of the projection of onto
.
Cross Product
Geometrically, the vector value of the cross product is the area of the parallelogram formed by and
times the unit vector
normal to the plane of the parallelogram following the right hand rule.
