Given x=3i^−6j^−k^,y=i^+4j^−3k^ and z=3i^−4j^−12k^.
⇒x×y=∣i^31j^−64k^−1−3∣
=i^(18+4)−j^(−9+1)+k^(12+6)=22i^+8j^+18k^=2(11i^+4j^+9k^)
Now, we know that the projection of a vector a on b is defined as ∣b∣a⋅b
Hence, the magnitude of projection of x×y on z is ∣z∣(x×y)⋅z
=∣3i^−4j^−12k^∣∣2(11i+4j+9k)⋅(3i^−4j^−12k^)∣
=32+42+122∣2(33−16−108)∣
=1692×91=132×91=14.
