What is the area of a state?

Answer 1

The area of (any) State is the measurement from boundary line to boundary line on all sides. Area of a state is expressed in square miles. States in any country and across the world are unique; very rarely would two have the same area in square miles.

The area of a state varies widely depending on the state. For example, Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. with an area of over 660,000 square miles, while Rhode Island is the smallest state with an area of around 1,200 square miles.
