No, it isn't. Wolfram Alpha reports that it is 249,430 km^2. To convert from km^2 to m^2, you multiply by 1000000, not 1000.
This throws all your calculations off by a factor of 1000.
Schoolboy error.
- rlpb 15y agoTFA has now silently deleted my comment, corrected that one statement, but not corrected any other derived results. For example, the following statement is still wrong by a factor of 1000: > If every person living in the UK had the same amount of space to live in we would have just under 3.9m2 each.
