To that end, consider {numref}`Figure %s <Fig:InnerProduct:diagonal-parallelogram>`. Here you see two vectors $\vect{v}$ and $\vect{w}$ and the paralellogram they span. You also see the diagonals of this paralellogram, which are given by $\vect{v}+\vect{w}$ and $\vect{v}-\vect{w}$. Two vectors are perpendicular if and only if the paralellogram they span is a rectangle, and this is exacty the situation where the diagonals have the same length, i.e., :::{math} @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ Using the dot product the concepts length and perpendicular easily carry over to (Subsec:Dot_product:InnerProduct_in_Rn)= -## Dot Product in $\mathbb{R}^n$ +## Dot product in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ::::{prf:definition} :label: Dfn:InnerProduct:DotProduct
