I know that |A xx B|=norm(A) norm(B) sin(theta), wherein the case of 3D Vectors and I wanted to calculate sin(theta) from the previous formula I will get a [1 xx 3] vector as a result, my question is, can the 3 values in the resulted sin vector be treated as 3 separate angles with the primary axes, say X,Y,Z?

I know that | A × B | = | | A | | | | B | | sin ( θ ), wherein the case of 3D Vectors and I wanted to calculate sin ( θ ) from the previous formula I will get a [1x3] vector as a result, my question is, can the 3 values in the resulted sin vector be treated as 3 separate angles with the primary axes, say X,Y,Z?

Your formula is not correct. It should be
A × B = A B sin ( θ )
and therefore, unless A=(0,0,0) or B=(0,0,0), you can compute sin θ by doing
sin ( θ ) = A × B A B .
