let the forces be F1 and F2 

F1+F2=18----------(1)

let the angle between them be 'a'

let their resultant be R

F1^2+F2^2+2FI*F2*cos(a)=R^2--------------------(2)

also 

tan90=F2sin(a)/F1+F2cos(a)------------------------(3)

 

solve (1) (2) and (3)

u will get F1 = 5

and F2=13

 

hope it helped
