No, that’s too small for even a hatchling.
How old is the tortoise you’re getting? Please keep in mind that an adult needs a minimum enclosure size of 8x4 feet.
I wouldn’t start a baby in anything less than 40 gallons, or 3x1.5 feet. However, 4x2 feet would be a lot better, and last a lot longer.
Where will you be getting this tortoise?

If it's a baby you can look into one of these

If it's an adult you'll need something much larger.

Im still looking for a tortoise so I don't know how old it is
Would 36 inches long and 32 inches wide be ok
For a baby, yes. I would recommend finding a breeder on the forum. I’m not sure if she has babies right now, but @Carol S would be a great choice.
