In a plane, vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\) have magnitudes \(|\mathbf{u}|=5\) and \(|\mathbf{v}|=7\). Their sum \(\mathbf{w}=\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}\) has magnitude \(|\mathbf{w}|=8\). (a) Determine the exact value of the dot product \(\mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{v}\). (b) Find the magnitude of \(\mathbf{u}\times\mathbf{v}\) (interpreting the vectors as lying in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) with zero \(z\)-components).
