No, Alaska is not 4 times as large in square miles... But Texas is
primarily flat where as Alaska has very large mountains. If you flatten
Alaska out, it would be MUCH larger.
Ha! My public edumacation was no waste.

When I went to grade school, I was told that Alaska was
4 time larger than Texas. Unless the size of those two
States has changed since then, it underscores the failure
of public education.
