Calculation method

Calculation method

Dot product

Sum matching component products.

First vector Euclidean norm

Square root of the sum of first-vector component squares.

Second vector Euclidean norm

Euclidean norm of the second vector.

Angle between vectors (degrees)

acos(dot/(norm1×norm2)), clamped for floating-point roundoff; undefined when either vector is zero.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Equal-length finite real vectors in Euclidean coordinates. A zero vector has a dot product but no defined direction angle. Double-precision results are approximate. Numeric tables use 12 significant digits and display components at roundoff scale (32 machine epsilons relative to their row or relevant calculation scale) as zero; scalar diagnostics retain full precision.
