I don't know how to approach this problem. VP4.1.3 An eagle descends

VP4.1.3 An eagle descends steeply onto its prey. Its weight (the gravitational force on the eagle), of magnitude 60.0 N, points downward in the-y-direction. The lift force exerted on the eagle's wings by the air, also of magnitude 60.0 N, is at an angle of 20.0 from the vertical (the + y-direction) and 70.0 from the +x-direction. The drag force (air resistance) exerted on the eagle by the air has magnitude 15.0 N and is at an angle of 20.0 from the-x-direction and 70.0 from the +y-direction. Find the x- and y-components of the net external force on the eagle, and find the force's magnitude and direction
