F1x + F2x = Rx
↓
Rx = F1x + F2x
↓
Rx = F1 cos45° + F2
↓
Rx = (50N)(cos45°) + 60N
↓
Rx = 95N
Similarly, if we sum all the y components, we will get the y component of the resultant force:
F1y + F2y = Ry
↓
Ry = F1y + F2y
↓
Ry = F1 sin45° + 0
↓
Ry = F1 sin45°
↓
Ry = (50N)(sin45°)
↓
Ry = 35N
At this point, we know the x and y components of R, which we can use to find the magnitude and direction of R:
Rx = 95N
Ry = 35N
