Algebraically, the cross product of 2 vectors a and b is defined as such:
Algebraically, the cross product of 2 vectors a and b is defined as such:
a × b = |a| |b| n sin θ
where θ is the angle formed between the 2 vectors (placed tail to tail) and n is the unit vector perpendicular to a and b given by the right hand rule.
