Which of the forty-eight contiguous states has the largest land area? My answer is Texas. I actually just looked on my U.S. map but then decided to look online at another U.S. land map. So I do think I am correct but just wanted to make sure.

Yes, Reed that is right I had the same question on my paper and I had gotten it right

You are correct, Texas is indeed the largest state in terms of land area among the forty-eight contiguous states. It covers approximately 695,662 square kilometers (or 268,581 square miles) of land. To double-check this information, you can use various online sources such as official government websites or reputable mapping websites. These sources often provide accurate and up-to-date information on the land area of different states. Additionally, you can refer to U.S. geographical atlases or consult reference books that contain detailed information about the country's states and their attributes.

Yes, that's right. The only state with more land mass is Alaska, and it's not one of the contiguous states.
