Answer: lol no it won't

Explanation:

In order to determine if the circular tabletop with a diameter of 88 inches will fit through the door, we must compare the dimensions of the tabletop to the dimensions of the door.

The width of the door is 36 inches and the height of the door is 84 inches. The diameter of the tabletop is 88 inches. To fit through the door, the tabletop's diameter must be less than or equal to both the width and the height of the door.

88 inches > 36 inches and 88 inches > 84 inches

In this case, the tabletop will not fit through the door because its diameter is larger than both the width and the height of the door.
