define: vector product
Answers
Explanation:
vector is an object that has both the direction and the magnitude. The length indicates the magnitude of the vectors, whereas the arrow indicates the direction. There are different types of vectors. In general, there are two ways of multiplying vectors.
(i) Dot product of vectors (also known as Scalar product)
(ii) Cross product of vectors (also known as Vector product).
In the upcoming discussion, we will focus on Vector product i.e. the cross product of vectors.

Explanation:
In mathematics, the cross product or vector product is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space, and is denoted by the symbol. Given two linearly independent vectors a and b, the cross product, a × b, is a vector that is perpendicular to both a and b, and thus normal to the plane containing them.
