Answer:
JP = 18
PS = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
ps being the shorter side is one third of the line JS and 1/3 of 27 is 9
jp being the longer side is 2/3 the length of js and 2/3s of 27 is 18
JP=18
PS=9
centroid divides median in the ratio 2:1
so,
JP:PS=2:1
Now take PS be x
then JP=2x
now, given JS=27
JP+PS=27
2x+x=27
3x=27
x=9
AND JP=18
