Suppose we want to compute the square root of 500. Recall that log √500 = 1/2 log 500. Use this and the given tables to compute square root of 500 to two decimal places. Again, explain your steps. You may use a calculator for dividing by 2. (Hint: there is one section of the table that you haven't used yet. If you find yourself looking for something that isn't in the table, ask yourself how it relates to something in the unused section. Reread the paragraph preceding this problem if you're still stuck. You won't get an exact answer, just to the nearest 100th.)
