Statics Question VI

How would you do this with Triangle of Forces or with Resolving Vectors? Cheers.

Need to resolve both the weight force and the 'F' force parallel and perpendicular to the plane
weight force(perpendicular):
weight force(parallel):

'F' force(perpendicular)
'F' force(parallel)

then just equate 'i' and 'j' directions to solve

I see. Thanks. I did a triangle side 12,N,F, with angles 30, 70 and 80 degrees and solved and using a triangle of forces-which yields the same result, but I much prefer your vectors way!
