Question

If matrix A has dimensions 3 x 2 and matrix B has dimensions 3 x 2, can matrix A and matrix B be multiplied?

Answer 1

Matrix A has 3 rows, 2 columns
Matrix B has 3 rows, 2 columns

The number of columns in matrix A (which is 2) does not match up with the number of rows in matrix B (which is 3). 

So the matrix multiplication A*B is undefined. We cannot multiply the matrices.

Answer 2

Answer:

we can not multiply matrix A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

dimension of matrix A = 3 x 2

dimension of matrix B = 3 x 2

Rule of multiplying two matrices:

Two matrix can be multiplied if the column of first matrix is equal to the row of second matrix.

column of first matrix = row of second matrix

Here, we have

Column of first matrix A = 2

Row of second matrix b = 3

Since,, column of matrix A ≠ Row of matrix B

Hence, we can not multiply matrix A and B.
