Im having trouble understanding this property
my book states that: a.(bxc) = b.(cxa) = c.(axb)
it also states that a.(ax(anything)) = 0
I understand the second point and why that's true, what I don't understand is why a.(bxc) = b.(cxa) = c.(axb) is true
If I name any 3 vectors a b and c would this be true? I'm just really confused to why it works, and my book doesn't really go into depth as it's a high school book, and Wikipedia seems to be vague or too complex for me.
