Perimeter = 36
36 - 18 longest side = 18
This would mean that the remaining TWO sides total 18.
The length of any side of a triangle will always be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.
18 is not less than sum of the other two
sides.
