Let the angle θ,0<θ<π2\theta, 0 \lt \theta \lt \frac{\pi}{2}θ,0<θ<2π​ between two unit vectors a^\hat{\mathrm{a}}a^ and b^\hat{\mathrm{b}}b^ be sin⁡−1(659)\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{65}}{9}\right)sin−1(965​​). If the vector c→=3a^+6 b^+9(a^×b^),\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=3 \hat{\mathrm{a}}+6 \hat{\mathrm{~b}}+9(\hat{\mathrm{a}} \times \hat{\mathrm{b}}),c=3a^+6 b^+9(a^×b^), then the value of 9(c→⋅a^)−3(c→⋅b^)9(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{a}})-3(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \cdot \hat{\mathrm{b}})9(c⋅a^)−3(c⋅b^) is
