Question
For any two vectors $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ write the value of $\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$ in terms of their magnitudes.
✓

Answer

$\big(\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}\big)^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$
$=\big(|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\cos\theta\big)^2+\big(|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\sin\theta\big)^2$
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$ $\big(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta\big)$
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$ (1)
$=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$
