The normal vector to the plane is $n=(1,1,1)$.
(b) Orthogonal projection of $V$ onto $n=(1,1)$ is
\[\frac{V\cdot n}{n \cdot n}n=\frac{(3,4,5)\cdot(1,1,1)}{(1,1,1)\cdot (1,1,1)}(1,1,1)=\frac{3+4+5}{1+1+1}(1,1,1)\]
\[=\frac{12}{3}(1,1,1)=(4,4,4).\]
(a) Orthogonal projection of $V$ onto the plane is
\[(3,4,5)-(4,4,4)=(-1,0,1).\]
