Geometric notions such as lengths and angles can be generalised over vector spaces provided that they have an inner product (which can only happen if they are fixed over a real or complex field). I.e., such notions only exist in an inner product space.
Length
Length ^formula1
The length (or norm) of a vector, , in an inner product space is defined as:
Distance
Distance
The distance between two vectors, and in an inner product space is defined as:
Angle
Angle
The angle between two vectors in a real inner product space is defined as:
In a complex product space:
