To find the square root of 3 using logarithms, you can use the property that log(a^b) = b * log(a). First, set the problem as finding x where x = √3. Taking the logarithm of both sides gives log(x) = log(√3). Since a square root is the same as raising to the power of 1/2, we can write this as log(x) = log(3^(1/2)). Applying the logarithmic power rule, this simplifies to log(x) = (1/2) * log(3). You would then find the value of log(3) (using a calculator or log table), multiply that value by 0.5, which gives you the logarithm of your answer. Finally, to find the actual value of √3, you would compute the antilogarithm (or inverse logarithm) of the result obtained in the previous step.
