Let $X$ be a Banach space, and let $X'\subset X$ - its subspace. Then the following propositions are true:
- $X'$ is closed, $X/X' \cong \ell_1 \Rightarrow X'$ is complementary;
- $X' \cong \ell_\infty \Rightarrow X'$ is complementary.
For the second one there is an option to try using Hahn-Banach theorem, as we do the same for proof of finite-dimensional subspaces.
More precisely, we can extend an identity operator $\ell_\infty \rightarrow \ell_\infty$ to the norm-one operator $X \rightarrow \ell_\infty$, but by the definition of complement subspace we should find closed subspace and moreover show that $\ell_\infty$ is closed.
