Vector cross product
Find the perpendicular vector and parallelogram area.
How this works
Computes the right-hand-rule cross product; its magnitude is the spanned parallelogram area.
Example
Using the example inputs, a × b is (0, 0, 1).
- Vector A (x,y,z)
- 1, 0, 0
- Vector B (x,y,z)
- 0, 1, 0
- A × B
- (0, 0, 1)
