Answer:

  • FG = 9
  • BF = 27
  • GD = 7
  • CG = 14

Explanation:

Point G is the intersection of medians, the centroid. That point divides each median into parts with a 2:1 ratio. The "2" part is the distance between the centroid and the vertex. The "1" part is the distance between the centroid and the side.

FG : GB : BF = 1 : 2 : 3 = 9 : 18 : 27 . . . . . where 18 is given

GD : CG : CD = 1 : 2 : 3 = 7 : 14 : 21 . . . . . where 21 is given
