Answer:
1.79553
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write expression
log₁₀(√(69.5² - 30.5²))
Step 2: Evaluate square root
log(√(4830.25 - 930.25))
log(√3900)
log(62.45)
Step 3: Find log
log₁₀ (or log)
log(62.45) = 1.79553
-------------------------------------
To use the table method. we find values that are easily evaluated by log₁₀
log₁₀(10) = 1
log₁₀(50) = 1.69897
log₁₀(100) = 2
So we know that log₁₀(62.45) is between 1 and 2 and greater that 1.69897.
