Components in x and y directions respectively are:
In x – direction,
=> 12cos60 = > -6i meter.
 In y- direction,
=> 12sin60 => 6root(3)j meter
i and j caps are the -ve x and positive y directions respectively.

basically you can take any angle from vector , you need to do components of vector , take the cos(theta) in which you have taken angle and other as sin (theta)
and multiply with vector length , do components,
