Two forces act on a object with different magnitudes and direction

[qtgrl120]

Homework Statement

Two forces act on a 48 kg object. One force has magnitude 65N directed 59° clockwise from the positive x-axis and the other has a magnitude 35N at 32° clockwise from the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of this object's acceleration?

Homework Equations

F = ma
and there's prob more equations...

The Attempt at a Solution

I really do not know how to solve this one. I know you need to use the angles and cos and sin somewhere but I am really confused. Help?!

Forces are vectors, so use vector addition (or just add the components) to find the total force.
