The cross product A×B of two 3D vectors produces a new vector perpendicular to both. Its magnitude equals the area of the parallelogram spanned by the two vectors. Direction follows the right-hand rule.

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1A×B = [a₂b₃−a₃b₂, a₃b₁−a₁b₃, a₁b₂−a₂b₁]
  2. 2Magnitude: |A×B| = |A||B|sin(θ)
  3. 3A×B = −(B×A) (anti-commutative)
