At the county 4th of July fair, a local strong man challenges contestants two at a time to a tug-of-war contest. Contestant A can tug with a force of 350 pounds. Contestant B can tug with a force of 280 pounds. The angle between the ropes of the two contestants is 45 degrees. With how much force must the local strong man tug so that the rope does not move?

The answer that I've been getting for this question is approximately 249.6 pounds.

The answer that it's supposed to be is 582.7 pounds, but I don't understand how I am supposed to be getting that?
