The drywall is 8' high, which is 96" so the drywall held upright will not go through the 85" high doorway.
Maybe we could tilt the drywall just a little and use the greater distance from one corner of the doorway to the opposite corner.
Consider the line from one corner to the opposite corner as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 85" and 36".
Using the Pythagorean Theorem: hypotenuse2 = leg2 + leg2 = 852 + 362 = 8521
The lenght from corner to opposite corner = the square root of 8521 = 92.3
The 96" drywall will not go through the doorway by tilting it either.
