Suzie, the resultant force here is represented by AB. The individual components must be XA and XC (in my diagram), where XC has the same length as AB.
We draw a line from A to B in that direction and likewise for X to C, and measure its length.
We measure the length of XB as well and this length will correspond to 6.0 N.
I am not sure what that length is on your paper.
So let’s say XB is 6 cm.
Then, 1 cm represents 1.0 N.
If you use a ruler and measure XC to be say 7 cm, then the magnitude of XC is 7.0 N.

It’s a “to-scale” diagram, so we can use lengths to make comparisons. A catch is that we must draw such scale diagrams accurately.
Thank you! It helped a lot!
