reynad · Answer

orthogonal means perpendicular. Do you know what to do now?

anonymous · Answer

so its 90 degrees

reynad · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

that angle would be 0?

nincompoop · Answer

dot product would be zero

gonal and normal vectors http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucahmdl/LessonPlans/Lesson10.pdf

anonymous · Answer

so It is 0

michele_laino · Answer

hint:
2 vectors are orthogonal each other when, their scalar product is zero, namely:
$$\Large u \cdot v = \left\| u \right\|\;\left\| v \right\|\;\cos {\theta _{uv}} = 0$$

nincompoop · Answer

well you need to understand why zero

anonymous · Answer

well now I know that is definitely 0

michele_laino · Answer

being $$\Large {\theta _{uv}}$$
the angle between such vectors

nincompoop · Answer

what you know does not matter, you need to show why it is zero

anonymous · Answer

I found the answer by finding the scalar product  at first
