Q: How do I calculate the side drop of a rectangular tablecloth?

Quick answer: For a centered rectangular cloth, subtract the table width from the cloth width and divide by two. Calculate end drop separately from the length dimensions. Use the same units throughout. The result is a nominal estimate for that centered arrangement; confirm the selected cloth dimensions and check the physical drape where fit matters.
