Understanding the Dot Product and the Cross Product
www.math.ucla.eduWe used both the cross product and the dot product to prove a nice formula for the volume of a parallelepiped: V = j(a b) cj. The product that appears in this formula is called the scalar triple
THE TRIPLE CROSS PRODUCT A B C - Bilkent University
www.fen.bilkent.edu.trTHE TRIPLE CROSS PRODUCT A~ (B~ C~) Note that the vector G~ = ~B C~ is perpendicular to the plane on which vectors B~ and C~ lie. Thus, taking the cross product of vector G~ with an arbitrary third vector, say A~, the result will be a vector perpendicular to G~ and thus lying in the plane of vectors B~ and C~.

Cross Product - Illinois Institute of Technology
web.iit.eduCross Product Note the result is a vector and NOT a scalar value. For this reason, it is also called the vector product. To make this definition easer to remember, we usually use determinants to calculate the cross product.
