### Linear Algebra Problem: Diagonalization of a Projection Matrix

2) *Conversely:* Suppose that \( V = U \oplus W \) and that \( T \) is the projection on \( U \) along \( W \). Prove that there is a basis such that the matrix of \( T \) is a diagonal matrix with only 0 and 1 on the diagonal.

#### Solution Outline:
1. **Understand the given projection:**
   Given \( V \) can be decomposed into the direct sum of two subspaces \( U \) and \( W \), i.e., \( V = U \oplus W \). 
   Here, \( \oplus \) denotes the direct sum.

2. **Projection Definition:**
   The linear transformation \( T \) is the projection operator onto \( U \), meaning \( T: V \rightarrow U \).
   Any vector in \( V \) can be written as \( v = u + w \) where \( u \in U \) and \( w \in W \). 

3. **Action of T:**
   When \( T \) is applied to \( v = u + w \), it should return the vector \( u \), i.e., \( T(v) = u \).

4. **Basis Selection:**
   Construct a basis for \( V \) by taking the union of bases for \( U \) and \( W \).
   Let \( \{u_1, u_2, ..., u_m\} \) be a basis for \( U \) and \( \{w_1, w_2, ..., w_n\} \) be a basis for \( W \). 
   This set \( B = \{u_1, u_2, ..., u_m, w_1, w_2, ..., w_n\} \) forms a basis for \( V \).

5. **Matrix Representation of T:**
   In the basis \( B \), the projection matrix \( T \) maps each basis vector to itself if it's in \( U \) and to zero if it's in \( W \).
   Thus, the matrix of \( T \) in this basis is a diagonal matrix with 1's corresponding to basis vectors in \( U \) and 0's corresponding to basis vectors in \( W \).

6. **Diagonal Matrix:**
   Explicitly, the matrix representation
