Problem: The vectors A and B together define a plane surface. Determine a vector of magnitude 3 that is perpendicular to that surface.
What I am thinking is Vector A is on the x-axis and B is on the y-axis. Therefore, the vector that I must determine, runs along the z-axis which is 90 degrees to that plain.
So, can I say that the answer is: The vector that must be determined is 90 degrees z-axis of x-axis with a magnitude of 3?
Sorry if what I am doing or saying is not even remotely close to the valid answer.
Can you please tell me how to approach this problem, maybe even go through it?
Here is a picture of what I think the Determined Vector of magnitude 3 is:
