Given the two vectors (blue vector) and (red vector), the object is to find the cross product (black vector). Clicking on the check box will provide the solution to the problem. To try another pair of vectors click on the circle in the upper right of the window.
The view can be rotated with the mouse and the zoom can also be adjusted. It may be necessary to adjust the view to see all of the cross product vector. The blue plane is the plane created by the vectors and . Note that the black vector is normal to this plane.
