USE LOG TABLES TO COMPUTE LOGS:

Use the log tables to find the value of $\displaystyle {\log{{\left(\sqrt{{{256}}}\right)}}}$.

Hint #1: Using your calculator to compute the log will not usually give you the same answer as the tables. Make sure you use the tables!

Hint #2: You will need to use one or more of the three basic log rules as part of the solution process.

Hint #3: Recall that $\displaystyle \sqrt{{{x}}}={\left({x}\right)}^{{\frac{{1}}{{2}}}}={x}^{{0.5}}$.

Answer: $\displaystyle {\log{{\left(\sqrt{{{256}}}\right)}}}$ =
