Questions & answers

What does Vector Dot Product Calculator calculate?

Compare two 2D vectors by dot product and angle.

Which units should I enter?

First X uses units. First Y uses units. Second X uses units. Second Y uses units. Convert values to these units before calculating.

Which formula does it use?

Dot = axbx+ayby; angle = arccos(dot/(|a||b|)).

What does the included example show?

First X: 1 units; First Y: 0 units; Second X: 1 units; Second Y: 1 units. Result: Dot product = 1; Angle · degrees = 45.

Can I compare different settings?

Yes. Save a scenario, change the inputs and save another result. Up to five scenarios are compared in this tab; they disappear when you reload or leave.

Can I export the calculation?

Copy the JSON report or download JSON and CSV with inputs, result labels and numeric values. Processing uses local JavaScript; no calculation request is sent to our server. Displayed values use up to 10 significant digits; exports retain JavaScript numeric precision.
