Definition of Cross Product of two Vectors
Let u and v be two vectors given by their 3 components as follows
Example 1
![]() Applications of the Cross ProductThe cross product of two vectors has applications in mathematics, physics, engineering, ... Some examples are presented below.Example 2 One of the formulas to find the area of a triangle with sides having lengths |u| and |v| and an angle between then equal to θ is (1 / 2) |u| . |v| sin(θ) Also, it can be shown that that | u × v | = |u||v| sin(θ) We can therefore conclude that the area of a parallelogram spanned by vectors U and v is equal to the magnitude of the cross product of vectors u and v. ![]()
