Determine the magnitude of the x and y components of the 700-lb force.

Fx = -350 lb, Fy = 606 lb
Fx = -404 lb, Fy = 571 lb
Fx = -606 lb, Fy = 350 lb
Fx = -571 lb, Fy = 404 lb

Magnitude of x = 700 cos (90 + 60) = -sin60 * 700 = -606.

Magnitude of y = 700 cos60 =350.

Fx: 700cos30 (-ve value).
=> - 606lb.

Fy: 700cos60 (+ve value).
=> 350lb.

You need to sketch and figure the angle involved.

How come? I have no idea how am I getting my answer but I don't think it's an appropriate approach. Can someone solve this?
