I got the formula, what does the angle effect? Net Magnetic force

[mr_coffee]

Hello everyone, I think I am missing this problem because there is an angle invovled, but it doesn't seem to matter what angle it is from what my lecture notes say. but here's the question:
The bent wire shown in Fig. 28-39 lies in a uniform magnetic field. Each straight section is 2.1 long and makes an angle of = 62° with the x axis, and the wire carries a current of 2.0 A. What is the net magnetic force on the wire in unit-vector notation if the magnetic field is given by each of the following?

any ehelp would be great!

THe formula states: Fbtotal= F1 + F2 + F3 + ... + Fn then it says: F = I(L1 + L2 +...+Ln) x B

Right, the angle comes in with the cross product at the end..

can you expland that explanation alittle more? How do you apply the cross product with the angle? I know the dot product has like AB = cos/|A||B| but i never heard of one for the cross product of A B.

The magnitude of \vec A \times \vec B is AB \sin {\theta}.

Wouldn't both the forces be equal and just opposite in direction therefor the net force is zero??
