Sec, thinking. I'm a little rusty with vectors >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No worries!

I had to Google the formula for projection. I couldn't quite remember how to derive it. So something like this:\[\Large\rm proj_wv=\frac{(\vec w\cdot\vec v)}{|w|^2}*\vec w\]Yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes they give me that formula but don't show me how to find lwl?
