★★★☆☆High School

📖Definition

Defined for 3D vectors, produces a vector perpendicular to both input vectors.

📐Formulas

\vecu × \vecv = \beginpmatrix u₂v₃ - u₃v₂ \\ u₃v₁ - u₁v₃ \\ u₁v₂ - u₂v₁ \endpmatrix

Cross product component formula

|\vecu × \vecv| = |\vecu||\vecv|sinθ

Magnitude (parallelogram area)
