Visualizing Free body diagrams? solved, thanks tiny-tim and doc Al!
I ran into a problem in my HW, I found the answer but I just have a hard time seeing as to WHY my answer is correct.

Thats the problem and my FBD is for block B. My FBD are the ones I did in red/blue w/ paint. The red means I am pretty sure that is what is given / correct. The lines in blue are what I believe I can maybe do in order to make more right triangles to help me find magnitudes of forces.
If my FBD was not clear enough please let me know so I can fix.
I didn't put what forces are acting on what because I think my problem is seeing that the lines in black (according to my answer) is equal to the magnitude of my Weight force?
Is there a better way of seeing why my answer is the way it is?
Thank you for your time.
