Question

The scalar product of $\to a and \to b$ is defined as $\to a . \to b = | \to a | | \to b | cos θ, θ$ is angle between them. The vector product of $\to a a n d \to b$ is defined as $\to a \times \to b = | \to a | . | \to b | sin θ ˆ n$ . Thus $\to a \times \to b$ is a vector whose magnitude is $| \to a | | \to b | sin θ$ and direction is perpendicular to the plane of $\to a and \to b$ .
