What is the projection of #< 5 , -6, 0 ># onto #< -1, -4 , 6 >#? Trigonometry Triangles and Vectors Vectors 1 Answer Bdub Aug 23, 2017 see below Explanation: Use the formula #proj_a b = (a*b)/|a|^2 a# That is, #proj_a b =(<5,-6,0>*<-1,-4,6>)/(sqrt(5^2+(-6)^2+0^2))^2 <5,-6,0># #=(-5+24+0)/(25+36)<5,-6,0># #=19/61 <5,-6,0># #=<95/61, -114/61,0># Answer link Related questions How do you write the components of vectors?
