CROSSPRODUCT (a,b)
- and are any real numbers.
and 
are any real numbers.Description
- This function shows the Cross product of two numbers.
- Cross product is also called Vector product.
- The cross product is defined in three dimensional space and it is denoted by axb.
- In CROSSPRODUCT (a,b), a and b are any two positive real numbers.
- We can calculate the Cross Product this way:

- is the magnitude (length) of vector a
- is the magnitude (length) of vector b
- is the angle between a and b
- n is the unit vector at right angles to both a and b
is the magnitude (length) of vector a
is the magnitude (length) of vector b
is the angle between a and b
