The largest a circular table can be to fit through a door is one that is no larger than the distance from one corner of the door to its opposite corner (the thickness of the table does affect the maximum size).

This can be found by finding the hypotenuse, using the width and the height as the sides.

Hypotenuse:  h2  =  422 + 842   --->   h2  =  8820   --->   h  =  93.9".

NO, the table won't fit.
