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.
(i) They are linearly dependent since the 2nd vector is twice the 1st vector. All 3 vectors lie in the x-z plane, so they don't span 3D space. (ii) They are linearly independent. Note that the cross-product of the first two is (-1,1,1). If the third vector is not perpendicular to the above cross-product, then the third vector does not lie in the plane defined by the first two vectors. (-1,1,1) "dot" (1,1,-1) = -1+1-1 = -1, not zero, so 3rd vector is not perpendicular to the cross product of the other two.
At the lower levels it stands for multiplication, at more advanced levels it stands for the cross product of vector multiplication (in three or seven dimensions). The multiplication operator can also be a dot on the line ( . ), a dot above the line ( 𝆴 ), an asterisk ( * ), and probably some other symbols as well.
Because in dot product we take projection fashion and that is why we used cos and similar in cross product we used sin
Multiply the product of their magnitudes by the cosine of the angle between them.
