Find the cross product ,

Where |a| = 3, |b| = 5, and the angle between them is p /6 radians, measured from a to b. The vectors lie in the x-y plane.

We can determine the magnitude of the cross product from the magnitudes of the vectors and the sine of the angle:

The direction is along the z-axis.
