Formula

What Is the Cross Product?

The cross product of two 3D vectors produces a new vector perpendicular to both input vectors. It's computed as:

A × B = (AyBz - AzBy, AzBx - AxBz, AxBy - AyBx)

Properties

  • The cross product is anti-commutative: A × B = -(B × A)
  • The magnitude equals the area of the parallelogram formed by A and B
  • If A × B = 0, the vectors are parallel
