    Finding resultant force from two forces in quadrants II and III

    i tried making them into triangles and then using the lengths as the force. then i figured out the upward force and minused the downard force to find the total vertical force but it isn't right

    Finding resultant force from two forces in quadrants II and III

    I've been stuck on this problem for too long and need help. Please explain the answer if possible. F1 has a magnitude of 8.80 n and is directed at an angle of \alpha= 65.0 above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant. F2 has a magnitude of 6.40 N and is directed at an angle of \beta =...
