There are 172 million acres of land in Texas. That means you could give every American man woman and child a half an acre of land to themselves in Texas, with land to spare. The US is really big.
- baddox 9y agoYou could also (in theory) put every human on Earth in Texas with a population density of only 26,000 people per square mile, about the same density as New York City.
- madengr 9y agoI read you could pile all the 5 billion human bodies on earth in a pyramid and it would only be 1 km square base.
