It depends how you want that measured. And that's why you are seeing different answers because of the confusion. In the north-south distance, can islands be included? (The n-s measurement of a surprising number of states will depend on that specification.).You would need to specify such things as:Does the line have to be across land entirely within the state?Can the line cross into another state or international water, or must it be entirely on contiguous land within the state?Or do you simply want to compare latitude numbers?As you probably know, a state's "longest" measurement is not always north-south. The longest dimension of a state can be in any directional orientation. To compare the longest states, we must measure from one extreme point on a border to the extreme other point farthest away. The longest states are:1) Hawaii (based on the distance from South Point, Hawaii Island to Kure island)2) Alaska3) California4) Texas
