Two vectors are orthogonal when an angle between them is π2\frac{\pi}{2} in radians

or 90 degrees. Then scalar production equals 0, because cosπ2=0.\cos{\frac{\pi}{2}}=0.

If we have two vectors x(x1,x2)\overrightarrow{x}(x_1,x_2) and y(y1,y2)\overrightarrow{y}(y_1,y_2) in Euclidean system

then x1y1+x2y2=0.x_1*y_1+x_2*y_2=0.
