2. With an area of 719 square miles, Comoros is the third-smallest country in Africa. How does that compare with these American locations?
From Quiz The Union of the Comoros
Answer:
About half the size of Rhode Island
At 719 square miles, only two African countries (both also island nations) are smaller... With an area of 372 square miles, São Tomé and Príncipe is about half the size of the Comoros; with an area of just 175 square miles, the Seychelles would fit just over four times into the Comoros.
The smallest U.S. state, Rhode Island, has a total area of 1,545 square miles (almost a third of which is water), so the Comoros are just less than half of its size. Delaware is much larger, 2,489 sq miles, so the Comoros would fit more than three times into that state. Washington DC has an area of 68 square miles, so would actually fit more than ten times into the Comoros rather than just twice. Guam has an area of 571 square miles, so it only about 80% of the size of the Comoros.
