The given equation is $\frac{y^{2}}{9}-\frac{x^{2}}{27}=1$ or $\frac{y^{2}}{3^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{(\sqrt{27})^{2}}=1$

On comparing this equation with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e., $\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{ x ^{2}}{b^{2}}=1,$ we obtain $a=3$ and $b=\sqrt{27}$

We known that  $a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}$ 

$\therefore c^{2}=3^{2}+(\sqrt{27})^{2}=9+27=36$

$\Rightarrow c=6$

The coordinates of the foci are $(0,\,±6)$

The coordinates of the vertices are $(0,\,±3)$ 

Eccentricity, $e=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Length of latus rectum $=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 27}{3}=18$
