An equation will have an answer at the end like an equal sign. (Ex; 20+20=40)

An expression will NOT have an answer. (Ex; 20+20)

The difference between an equation and expression in maths is that an expression is a combination of numbers, variables and symbols to be calculated. An equation contains expressions that are separated by an equals sign.

Answer:

D. 7.8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to solve this, you need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the baseball field to his home. You know two of the sides of the triangle formed, 6 and 5. The Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c². In this case, it would be 6² + 5² = c². If you solve this, you would find that c is 7.81024967591. Just round it to the nearest tenth like instructed. This would get you 7.8 as the answer.

Extra work just in case:

6² + 5² = c²

36 + 25 = c²

61 = c²

$\sqrt{61}$ = $\sqrt{c^{2} }$
