Problem is here http://engineeringhomework.net/statics/hw1p19.html" I understand that Tr=T1+T2, but the different axis is throwing me off.

hi bbarke00! 
to find the component of F in a particular direction,
always multiply F by cos of the angle from that direction
(the only time you use sin is when you're given an angle θ which is 90° minus the angle you want … then it's still cos, but it's cos(90° - θ) which of course is sinθ
)
