Dot Product vs. Cross Product: Formulas, Geometry, and Calculus 3 Applications

The dot product returns a scalar that measures alignment, while the cross product returns a vector perpendicular to two three-dimensional vectors. Learn the formulas, geometric meaning, right-hand rule, projections, work, area, plane normals, torque, flux, scalar triple products, Lagrange’s identity, and complete worked examples.
