units in math, cross product

310 Views Asked by At

The cross product of two vectors has length equal to the area of the parallelogram they generate.

The cross product is also a vector and thus has dimensions. But the units of those dimensions are units of area, such as m2.

My question is - this vector can't be in the same vector space as the original vectors multiplied, right?

What does adding units to dimension do to a vector space?
