So what exactly is the triple product anyways?
The triple product is a way to combine three vectors to find useful geometric or physical properties. The scalar triple product measures the volume of a 3D shape made by the vectors, telling you if they are aligned or coplanar. The vector triple product gives a new vector that stays in the same plane as two of the original vectors, helping with directions and alignments.
