Document Summary

= cos(x), given that x is the angle between the two vectors. = 0 means that and are perpendicular. (this is the only such case that and would be perpendicular. Given , in , find that is perpendicular to both and. +y+z = 0 in this, y=-z, so substitute to solve for x. So for any real number r : r. (1,2,-2) = (r,2r,-2r) is the solution set. It automates choosing values (using 2 vectors, produces a third) It chooses the third vector smoothly : calculates area. The vector produced by x is perpendicular to both and . Something else to note is that x = -(x) This means that the same values will be produced, but will have opposite signs. Using the same algebra from day one, we can derive that: sin(x) = This allows us to calculate area of parallelograms.
