About This Calculator
This calculator computes the dot product of two 3D vectors, a key operation in vector algebra. The result is a scalar value representing the product of the vectors' magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them.
How It Works
The dot product is calculated by multiplying corresponding components of the two vectors and adding the results. For vectors A and B, the formula is:
To use this calculator, enter each component of Vector A and Vector B separately in the input fields, then click "Calculate" to see the result and detailed steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dot product?
The dot product is a scalar that combines two vectors by multiplying corresponding components and summing the results. It relates to the angle between the vectors.
Can I use vectors with different dimensions?
No, this calculator only supports 3-dimensional vectors with exactly 3 components each.
How should I enter the vector components?
Use the provided input fields to enter each component of Vector A and Vector B separately. All values must be valid numbers.
