Using the formula
A × B = |A| |B| sin θ n
and our values from before which were
|BS| = √3
|CP| = √3
θ = 70.5°
we have:
|BS| × |CP|
= |BS| |CP| sin θ n
= (√3)(√3) sin 70.5° n
= 2.828 n
This means our result is a vector with magnitude 2.828 units and direction perpendicular to the plane containing BS and CP, indicated in green in the following diagram.
