How to use 2D Vector Calculator

Enter the x and y components of both vectors and the calculator returns their magnitudes, dot product, cross product, sum and angle.

Frequently asked questions

How is the dot product of 2D vectors found?

Dot product = x₁x₂ + y₁y₂, the sum of the products of matching components.

What does the 2D cross product return?

A scalar, x₁y₂ − x₂y₁, whose magnitude is the area of the parallelogram the two vectors span.

How is the angle between vectors calculated?

cos(θ) = (a · b) / (|a| |b|), so θ = arccos of the dot product over the product of magnitudes.
