Vector Projection and Distance in R4

This video tutorial explains how to find the projection of a vector onto a subspace in R4 with an orthogonal basis. It provides a step-by-step example, calculating the orthogonal projection of a given vector onto a subspace and determining the distance from the vector to the subspace. The tutorial verifies the orthogonality of the basis vectors and uses dot products to compute the projection. It concludes by finding the projection onto the orthogonal complement and calculating the distance using vector magnitudes.
