Answer:

4, 5, 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find our numbers using given information.

Factors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10 and 20.

Let us try by taking number 4 and 5.

[tex]36-(4+5)=36-9=27[/tex]  

We can see that [tex]3^{3} =27[/tex]

Now let us find sum of these numbers.

[tex]4+5+27=36[/tex]

Therefore, numbers chosen by Boris will be 4, 5 and 27 as these numbers satisfies our all conditions.
