You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Consider the vectors u=(0,1) v=(1,0)
Plot those points and draw the two vectors.
They form a right angle.
1. Determine cos x where x is the angle between u and v
Ans: cos(90) = 0
---------------------------
2. Calculate the area of the parallelogram determined by u and v
Ans: Area = base*height = 1*1 = 1 sq unit
