Projection Formula
In the $\triangle A B C$,
The projection of $A B$ on $B C$ is $B D$ and the Projection of $A C$ on $B C$ is $D C$
Now,
$
\begin{aligned}
& B D=c \cos B \text { and } D C=b \cos C \\
& \text { and, } B C=a=B D+D C \\
& =c \cos B+b \cos C \\
& a=c \cos B+b \cos C
\end{aligned}
$
Similarly, other projection formulas can be derived
$
\begin{aligned}
& a=c \cos B+b \cos C \\
& b=c \cos A+a \cos C \\
& c=b \cos A+a \cos B
\end{aligned}
