4. SCALAR (DOT) PRODUCT OF TWO VECTORS
1. The scalar product or (dot product) : The scalar product of two vectors banda is a scalar and is
defined as the product of the magnitude of banda and the cosine of the angle between them.i.e., = .cos|b|.|a|b.a , 0) and n be the unit vector perpendicular
to the plane then the equation of the plane is pn.r = .
