Perpendicular means that the angle between the two vectors is 90 degrees - a right angle. If you have the vectors as components, just take the dot product - if the dot product is zero, that means either that the vectors are perpendicular, or that one of the vectors has a magnitude of zero.
The dot-product of two vectors is the product of their magnitudes multiplied by the cosine of the angle between them. The dot-product is a scalar quantity.
a vector is a line with direction and distance. there is no answer to your question. the dot is the angular relationship between two vectors.
To find the angle between two vectors, you need to use this form: a ∙ b / (|ab|) = cos(θ) θ = arccos(a ∙ b / (|ab|)) where a and b are vectors. Compute the dot product and the norm of |a| and |b|. Then, compute the angle between the vectors.
A dot can mean several things, depending on the context.It can separate the whole part of a decimal number from the fractional part.It (or a pair of them) are used to indicate repeating decimal expansions.It can indicate a derivative.It can stand for the scalar product of two vectors.
