Big (Part 2)

Alaska is the size of:
114 Connecticuts,
277 Delawares,
88 Hawaiis,
69 Massachusetts,
61 New Hamphires,
470 Rhode Islands, or
2 Texas.

In fact, if Alaska were to split in half and form two states, Texas would drop from second largest state to third.

Without Alaska, Brazil and Australia are larger than the United States.

Alaska-Canada border: 1,538 miles long

East to West, it is 2,700 miles wide. When a scale map of Alaska is superimposed on a map of the 48 lower states, Alaska extends from coast to coast.
