The earth is only approximately round. More like a squashed egg.
The following is not true, in general:
"The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."
Perhaps you are thinking of the Pythagorean theorm which states:
"In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (i.e. the two sides other than the hypotenuse)."
