To find the difference in size between Arizona and Maryland, we need to subtract the area of Maryland from the area of Arizona.
Arizona: 2.95 × 10^5 square kilometers
Maryland: 3.21 × 10^4 square kilometers
Difference = 2.95 × 10^5 - 3.21 × 10^4
Difference = 2.95 × 10^5 - 0.321 × 10^5
Difference = 2.629 × 10^5
Therefore, Arizona is 2.629 × 10^5 square kilometers larger than Maryland.
