Yep, it could mean "which state has the most shoreline?"
if so then the answer is Maine, its shoreline is so long that if you stretch it out it is as long as the whole east coast
dont beleive me look it up
Uh, no. Alaska.
The coastline of Alaska is longer than the entire coastline of the lower-forty-eight states of the United States.
Alaska has the longest coastline, approximately 10,700 kilometers (about 6,640 miles), which makes it longer than the coastline of the ?lower? 48 states combined. If all the islands of Alaska are included, the amount of coastline increases five-fold.
Alaska: The longest coastline in the U.S., 6,640 miles, greater than that of all other states combined
How many more times do I have to look it up?
I'm really surprised that this is even up for debate. By land mass, Alaska is almost as large as the western U.S. Add to that the fact that the state is a gigantic peninsula, and then add in the Aleutian island archipelago and it's no contest.
ok maines is longest of the conential; US states close enough
and alaska is basically canada so it doesnt really count
