I think it's sin^2 θ.

It will differ if the angles between the 3 directions are different.

Horizontal vice force acting mention angle cosθ and vertical vice force acting mention angle is sinθ.

Let XY be the direction along which the given force is acting.
And we have to find the component of force in XZ direction.
It is given that the force is inclined at θ to the given plane (the plane is in between the XY and XZ line).
So component of F towards the given plane is F.Cosθ.
Now this F.Cosθ force is at an angle of (90-θ) to XZ.
Therefore its component towards XZ.
= F.Cosθ.Cos(90-θ).
= F.Cosθ.Sinθ.
And we have to find the component of force in XZ direction.

Therefore its component towards XZ.
= F.Cosθ.Cos(90-θ).
= F.Cosθ.Sinθ.

Sine θ is for the vertical i.e. normal and cos θ is for the horizontal components. If the angle of inclination is to the horizontal.
