    This document describes two methods for calculating the dot product of vectors. Method 1 uses the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. Method 2 calculates the sum of the products of the x and y components of each vector. Both methods are demonstrated by calculating the dot products of three vectors AB, BC, and AC, where the length and angles between the vectors are given.

    50: Method 1: ( Pr oduct of magnitudes cos )

    AB cos = (12 m 15 m ) cos 93 = 9.4 m 2


    BC cos = (15 m 6 m ) cos 80 =15 .6 m 2
    AC cos = (12 m 6 m ) cos 187

    = 71 .5 m 2

    Method 2: (Sum of products of components)


    A B = ( 7.22 ) (11.49)

    +(9.58)( 9.64) = 9.4 m 2

    B C = (11.49)( 3.0) +(9.64)( 5.20 ) =15 .6 m 2


    A C = (7.22 )( 3.0) +(9.58)( 5.20 ) = 71 .5 m 2
