Trivia: The Grand Canyon is bigger than which state?
Delaware
Rhode Island
Connecticut
New Hampshire
The correct answer is Rhode Island
So why is this answer correct? : Covering 1,214 square miles, Rhode Island is America’s smallest state — so small, in fact, that the entire Grand Canyon would not fit in it. The Grand Canyon covers an area of 1,904 square miles and stretches 277 miles long. While Rhode Island’s size may pale in comparison to the Grand Canyon, it does have nearly 400 miles of shoreline, giving it the nickname of “the Ocean State.”
