I was making sure it was in a form that was easy to comprehend.
Here's the google page listing the entire formula and the answer.

The answer is 24.06m.

Of course the problem is that Earth was never completely flat, in fact it's never even been close to flat.

Could it be possible, that however much water is in the sky. I really don't know how much that is, but let's say that if all the water in the sky was to suddenly fell down to the earth. If the earth went out of orbit from the sun for some strange reason and the earth started to cool, and freeze. Now after a period of years the earth came back into orbit. Now as the ice started to melt water would naturally seek the lowest point to puddle, I would assume that would be what we call the oceans. But the thing is water has weight so as the puddles got deeper and heavier couldn't that cause the earth surface to reshape and rise to what we call land and mountains. What would be hills or almost flat land then might be totally different after the big puddles and land rising. Something had to create enough pressure on the earths crust to make the mountains rise. It wasn't all volcanic. So anyway when the earth started warming again then much of the water then would go into the sky in the form of gas. Why couldn't the Earth have been originally very much flat (Smooth) and covered in a sheet of thick ice? It doesn't seem so impossible to me. I know earth is more oval shaped and can't really be called flat.

And you know this how?
