 - **Using vector components** - If you have two vectors given by $\vec{a}=\langle a_x, a_y, a_z \rangle$ and $\vec{b}=\langle b_x, b_y, b_z\rangle$, then you can calculate the dot product by multiplying each component together and adding them together: - **Using vector components** - If you have two vectors given by $\vec{a}=\langle a_x, a_y, a_z \rangle$ and $\vec{b}=\langle b_x, b_y, b_z\rangle$, then you can calculate the dot product by multiplying each component together and adding them together:
