Can we multiply two vectors?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation for correct answer:

Dot Product:

The dot product of vectors is also called as the scalar product of vectors. We can find the Dot Product of two vectors by product of the magnitudes of the vectors, and the cosine of the angle between the them and it is always a scalar quantity.

Cross Product:

Cross Product is also called as a Vector Product. When we multiply two vectors with each other and gets a vector quantity, then the resultant vector is called the cross product of two vectors or the vector product.

Hence, we can multiply two vectors by Dot Product or Cross Product method.
