Question

What is the cross product of `[0,8,5]` and `[2, 4, 8]`?

Answer 1

The cross product is `[44,10,-16]`.

Explanation:

Let us consider [0,8,5] as `vecA=8hatj+5hatk` and similarly [2,4,8] as `vecB=2hati+4hatj+8hatk`.
So, the cross product of these two vectors is `vecAxxvecB`,
#vecAxxvecB=hati[64-20}-hatj[0-10]+hatk[0-16] =44hati+10hatj-16hatk#.
`:.`The cross product of `[0,8,5]` and`[2,4,8]` is `[44,10,-16]`.
