Answer:
NS = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The medians of the triangle are divided in a ratio of 1:2. Therefore:
[tex]\dfrac{PS}{NP}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
We have NP = 16. Substitute:
[tex]\dfrac{PS}{16}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] multiply both sides by 16
[tex]PS=8[/tex]
NS = NP + PS
Therefore
NS = 16 + 8 = 24
