Although it has the longest official name, what is the smallest state in the U.S. at only 1,045 square miles?

At only about double the size of Los Angeles, Rhode Island is the smallest state in the U.S. And until recently it had the longest name. Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was the state's official name up until 2020 when an amendment was passed to shorten it to just Rhode Island.
