As we learn

Projection of vector a on vector b -

\vec{a}\cos \Theta = \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{\left | \vec{b} \right |}

- wherein

Projection of vector a on vector b

 

 Projection of \vec{a} on \vec{b} =\frac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}}{\left |\vec{b} \right |} = \frac{(3)(-2)+(2)(2)-5(1)}{\sqrt{4+4+1}}

= \frac{-7}{3}

\therefore length of projection = \frac{7}{3}
