dot product gives scalars but cross product gives a vector

#

cross product doesn't give you the scalar 0

#

just a vector with magnitude 0

#

oh then would there not be any situation where they are equal?

Not really

#

one's a scalar and one's a vector

#

doesn't really make sense

#

unless you're talking about magnitudes
