If we have two vectors A and B with an angle theta between them when they are joined tail to tail ( To remove ambiguity, theta < pi), then the projection of either vector (say, B) in the direction of A is the component of B along A and is given by, B Cos theta.
Similarly, projection of A in the direction of B is A Cos theta .
