Are the projection lengths of the mutual vector projections equal?












0














Is the projection of $U$ on $X$-axis (i.e $a$) equal to the projection of $X$ on $U$ (i.e $b$)?



Does this apply to all the vector projections? I can see that there is a symmetry in the intersection point of two projections which implies that both the lengths are same but somewhere, I have a feeling that I have not understood the concept quite clearly.



Can anybody please elaborate on this?
