Two vectors are orthogonal when an angle between them is π2\frac{\pi}{2}2π in radians
or 90 degrees. Then scalar production equals 0, because cosπ2=0.\cos{\frac{\pi}{2}}=0.cos2π=0.
If we have two vectors x→(x1,x2)\overrightarrow{x}(x_1,x_2)x(x1,x2) and y→(y1,y2)\overrightarrow{y}(y_1,y_2)y(y1,y2) in Euclidean system
then x1∗y1+x2∗y2=0.x_1*y_1+x_2*y_2=0.x1∗y1+x2∗y2=0.
