Will a rectangular cloth have an even drop on a round table?

Q: Will a rectangular cloth have an even drop on a round table?

Quick answer: Not generally. The cloth corners extend differently from its side midpoints, so one diameter-based calculation cannot describe the whole hanging edge. Use a sketch and sample fit check for the intended table. If an even perimeter drop is required, discuss a suitable shape and size rather than assuming a rectangular cloth will provide it.
