Theorem If is the angle between the vectors and ,then Properties of the cross product Proof From the definitions of the cross product and length of a vector,we have Corollary Two nonzero vectors and are parallel if and only if The length of the cross product is equal to the area of the parallelogram determined by and Example Find a vector perpendicular to the plane that passes through the points and Properties of the cross product p?r?lel?gr?m Solution The vector perpendicular to both And and therefore perpendicula
