Solution

The dot product of A and B is the length of the projection of a onto b multiplied by the length of b (or the other way around--it's commutative).
The magnitude of the cross product is the area of the parallelogram with two sides a and b. The orientation of the cross product is orthogonal to the plane containing this parallelogram.
