Dear anuj,

Let's say we have two vectors, A and B, as shown to the left.  The values |A| and |B| represent the lengths of vectors A and B, respectively, and Θ is the angle between the two vectors.  The dot product of vectors A and B will have the following relationship to these values:

A · B = |A| * |B| * cos(Θ)

That is to say, the dot product of two vectors will be equal to the cosine of the angle between the vectors, times the lengths of each of the vectors.

We are all IITians and here to help you in your IIT JEE preparation.

All the best.
