Orthogonal Projections and Complements

This video tutorial explains how to use the orthogonal projection formula to determine a vector projection onto a plane in R3. It begins by defining the subspace W with an orthogonal basis and provides an example using specific vectors. The tutorial includes a graphical representation of the vectors and their projections, followed by detailed calculations of the orthogonal projection of vector X onto W and its orthogonal complement. Finally, it demonstrates how to calculate the distance from vector X to W using the magnitude of the projection onto the orthogonal complement.
