Answer

(a) -6.62 (b)Magnitude of cross product is 5.55

Work Step by Step

(a) Given: A= 3.6 m B=2.4 m so $\theta$=[ 30 + 90+(90-70)] =$140^{\circ}$ (b) The magnitude of cross product is $|A \times B|$ = $3.6 \times 2.4 \times sin(140)$= 5.55 , and the direction is perpendicular to the plan and is out of the paper .
