Answer:

Unsure of what's being asked so differences below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyphen joins two or more words together while a dash separates words into parenthetical statements. The two are sometimes confused because they look so similar, but their usage is different. Hyphens are not separated by spaces, while a dash has a space on either side. Also, the dash tends to be slightly longer than the hyphen.
