1 7. Projections and Components As we have seen, the dot product of two vectors tells us the cosine of the angle between them. So far, we have only used this to find the angle between two vectors, but cosines are also useful for triangle trigonometry. In this section, we will learn how to use the dot product to derive information about right triangles. a Figure : A right triangle with vectors h and s. Projection Formula Let T be a right triangle, let h be a vector along the hypotenuse, and let s be the vector emanating from the same vertex along the other side, as shown in Figure. Then s h u, where u is a unit vector in the direction of s. The scalar s is sometimes called the projection of h onto u. To understand why this formula is true, let θ be the angle between s and h. From triangle trigonometry we know that s h cos θ. Since u has the same direction as s, the angle between u and h is also θ, so h u h u cos θ. But u is a unit vector, which means that u. Then h u h cos θ, and it follows that s h u. The reason the projection formula is useful is that it allows us to determine the magnitude of s when we know the direction of s as well as the vector h. That is, it lets us find one side of a right triangle when we know the hypotenuse. From this point of view, the projection formula is like a vector version of triangle trigonometry. EXAMPLE Figure shows a right triangle in the plane. SOLUTION Let h and s be the vectors shown in Figure 3. Clearly h (3, ) (6, ) (7, 9). a Figure : The right triangle for Example. Furthermore, the vector s lies along the line y x/3. The vector (3, ) also points in this direction, so a unit vector in the direction of s is u (3, ) (3, ). (3, ) 0 Then by the projection formula, s h u (7, 9) (3, ) a Figure 3: The vectors h and s for Example. We conclude that and therefore s 3 0 u (9, 3), p (6, ) + s (6, ) + (9, 3) (, )
2 PROJECTIONS AND COMPONENTS a Figure 4: A right triangle with vectors h and s. Incidentally, although we have stated the projection formula for a hypotenuse vector h and side vector s that emanate from the same vertex, it works just as well if h and s end at the same vertex, as shown in Figure 4. In particular, if u is a unit vector in the direction of s, then s h u. EXAMPLE Find the distance from the point (4, 7) to the line y x/. SOLUTION Let h (4, 7) and s be the vectors shown in Figure. To find a unit vector in the direction of s, note first that (, ) points in the direction of the line y x/. Turning 90 counterclockwise, we find that (, ) is parallel to s, and therefore u (, ) (, ) (, ) is a unit vector in the direction of s. By the projection formula, it follows that a Figure : The vectors h and s for Example. s h u (4, 7) (, ) 0. Change of Basis The projection formula is related to an important idea known as change of basis. So far, the only basis for R we have been using is the standard basis, which consists of the unit vectors i and j in the x and y directions. Every vector v can be expressed as a linear combination of the standard basis vectors: v v x i + v y j. a Figure 6: The components of v in the x and y directions. The coefficients v x and v y of this linear combination are the components of v in the x and y directions, as shown in Figure 6. Now, it is an important principle of geometry that there s nothing particularly special about the x and y directions. Indeed, if we choose another set of perpendicular directions, the corresponding pair of unit vectors a, b should have the same properties as i and j. Orthonormal Bases and Components A pair of vectors a, b in the plane is called an orthonormal basis for R if a and b are orthogonal unit vectors. In this case, every vector v in R can be written as a linear combination of a and b: v s a + t b. The coefficients s, t in this linear combination are the components of v in the directions of a and b, as shown in Figure 7. a Figure 7: The components of v in the directions of a and b. It follows from the projection formula that s and t are given by dot products: s v a and t v b
3 PROJECTIONS AND COMPONENTS 3 In the case where a i and b j, these formulas are just v x v i and v y v j. EXAMPLE 3 Find the components of the vector (3, 7) with respect to the orthonormal basis Note that a and b are indeed orthogonal unit vectors. a (, ), b (, ). SOLUTION We have (3, 7) a (3, 7) (, ) 0 and (3, 7) b (3, 7) (, ) 4. Thus the components of (3, 7) are in the direction of a and in the direction of b, as shown in Figure 8. Indeed, it is easy to check that a Figure 8: The components of (3, 7) in the directions of a and b. (3, 7) a + b. Orthonormal bases for R 3 work in a similar way, except that an orthonormal basis consists of three orthogonal unit vectors a, b, c. For such a basis, every vector v in R 3 can be written as a linear combination v s a + t b + u c where s, t, and u are the components of v in the directions of a, b, and c. These are given by the formulas s v a, t v b, and u v c. EXERCISES. The following figure shows a right triangle with one vertex at the origin.
