the component of any vector V in direction x is
Vx = |V| cos theta
where |V| is the magnitude, 20 in this case, and theta is the angle between the Vector and the direction you want, in this case cos 30
That is the horizontal component. You did not give a horizontal direction (compass) angle so you can not do East and North components of that horizontal component .
