Cross Product Calculator

Calculate Cross Product

a₁ (x-component of a)

a₂ (y-component of a)

a₃ (z-component of a)

b₁ (x-component of b)

b₂ (y-component of b)

b₃ (z-component of b)

Formula

a × b = (a₂b₃ - a₃b₂, a₃b₁ - a₁b₃, a₁b₂ - a₂b₁)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cross product?

The cross product of two 3D vectors produces a third vector that is perpendicular to both input vectors. Its magnitude equals the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. It is only defined in three dimensions.
