Please see [SL Math - Analysis and Approaches 2#Vector projections](/g11/mcv4u7/#vector-projections) for more information.
Similarly, the component of $\vec a$ in the direction **perpendicular to** $\vec b$ is related to the vector projection.
$$
Perp_{\vec b}\vec a = \vec a - Proj_{\vec b}\vec a \\
|Perp_{\vec b}\vec a = |\vec a|\sin\theta
$$
