How is the truth table of 3 input Logic Gates derived?

I am not able to understand the logic behind the truth tables of 3 input gates. For example, consider the input: 1 0 0
Output of this is 1 as per the truth table.
But isn't it 1.(0.0) = 1.0 = 0 ? Am I not allowed to use Boolean algebra in this manner?

( I have this intuition that there is a terrible blunder being committed somewhere, but I am not very sure of the concepts involved in truth tables)

Can you post an link or reference to the truth table in question?
There is either an error or a misunderstanding.


But another truth table for AND gate online is this. So I guess the first truth table is not that of AND gate? I am not having 3 input gates in my textbook. I am looking at materials online.

Other properties of the AND (&) function is that it is commutative and associative.
  1. A&B = B&A -- Commutative Property
  2. (A&B)&C = A&(B&C) -- Associative Property
The gates work the same way as the algebra.
