Find the value of λ when the projection of 
 on 
 is 4 units.
Projection of vector 
 on vector 
So we first calculate the magnitude of vector b and the scalar product of a vector 
 and 
.
![]()
![]()
Projection of vector 
 on vector 
 = 4 (1)
Putting the values from above in equation (1),

2λ = 10
λ = 5
