For any vectors

\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b} ;|\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}|^2+(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b})^2

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

|\mathbf{a}|^2|\mathbf{b}|^2

Option A (

|\mathbf{a}|^2|\mathbf{b}|^2

) is correct because using the definitions of dot and cross products, the given expression simplifies to the square of the magnitudes of the vectors.
