    Refer to the figure shown below.

    The reference angle is 180 - 120 = 60°.

    Note that in quadrant 2, sine is positive but cosine is negative.

    The x-component of the vector is

    -20*cos (60°) = - 10

    The y-component of the vector is

    20*sin (60°) = 17.32

    Answer: (-10, 17.32)
