The State Is Technically Bigger Than Texas

Most people know that Alaska is the largest state in the United States, followed by Texas. But would you believe us if we told you that Hawaii was technically bigger than Texas? When you take into account all of the spread-out islands, the whole state is much wider than the Lone Star State. In fact, it's twice as wide! But, of course, Texas wins second place when you take into account the overall land mass.

The individual islands in the state of Hawaii are fairly small, which means it doesn't quite win the race. And when you do the calculations, Hawaii is actually 4000% smaller than Texas.
