Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this we find the diameter of the cake.  The formula for circumference as a function of diameter d is C =πd.

Here the circumference is 100 in.  Thus, (100 in) / π is the diameter.  This diameter is approximately 31.8 in.  This is just 0.2 in smaller than the 32-in doorway.  YES, the cake will pass through this doorway.
