In this particular question, we have four parts. So first, let's write whatever is given to us.

Question

Two vectors are given by \overrightarrow{a} = 1.7\hat{i} + 3.2\hat{j} and \overrightarrow{b} = 9.5\hat{i} + 8.6\hat{j}. Find (a) \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b}, (b) \overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b}, (c) \overrightarrow{a} + \overrightarrow{b}, and (d) the component of \overrightarrow{a} along the direction of \overrightarrow{b}?
