can any1 tell me diferent ways to find vector products?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

i know this one
AxB=i(a2b3-a3b2)+j(a3b1-a1b3)+k(a1b2-a2b1)

There is the way involving the angle between the two vectors (which you have used in some other problems you posted here.)

Wikipedia says:
$$\mathbf{a}\times\mathbf{b}= \begin{vmatrix}<br /> \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\<br /> a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\<br /> b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\<br /> \end{vmatrix}$$
(but that's equivalent to what you already mentioned)
