ok, so remember

the legnth of the longest side must be LESS THAN the sum of the measures of the other 2 sides
if no longest side (becasue it has 2 longest sides or 3 equal sides), then it can form a triangle




so the longest side is 36

36 must be less than the sum  of 15 and 20
36<15+20
36<35
false

therfor it cannot form a triangle
try it yourself, you cannot connect them that way
