Canada is (12,383 + 113,211) = 125,594 miles long.

The answer is absurd ... it's about five times all the way
around the entire Earth ... but it's correct according to the
figures given.

By the way ... the longest distance between any two points
in the US is about 5,110 miles.

This whole mathematical situation is what engineers call "G.I.G.O." .
