Front

What does it mean for two vectors to be orthogonal?

Back

Two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.

Front

What does it mean for two vectors to be parallel?

Back

Two vectors are parallel if they have the same or opposite direction, which can be determined if one vector is a scalar multiple of the other.

Front

How do you determine the distance between two points given their bearings?
