Explaining the Cross Product for Two Vectors

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6826341, member: 334404"] Assuming θ is the angle between the vectors, you have that, ahem, crossed. ##||\vec A\times\vec B||=||\vec A||.||\vec B||.| \sin(\theta)|## ##||\vec A.\vec B||=||\vec A||.||\vec B||.| \cos(\theta)|##. That wording suggests a misunderstanding. The scalar product of two vectors is a single number. There is not a separate scalar product for each component. Do you mean for two vectors in general? Maybe "non orthogonal"? Not aware of anything more concise. [/QUOTE]
