calculating the resultant force...

Use a suitable graphical method to determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting the anchor point of two cables under tension as shown:

Well now that I see the picture if you don't want to use that method, you can always resolve the forces into vertical and horizontal components and then easily find the resultant vertical component and the resultant horizontal component and go on from there.
