Log scales have there scales exponentially written. They are used to provide a detailed line for smaller values when on a normal graph this would be hard to see as they are too small. Most Log Scales use base 10, so this tutorial is for that. If your log scale uses a different base (it will not be segmented by multiples of 10, eg: 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100), just substitute your number in. 1. On the x scale identify where your number lies. Mine lies between 10 and 100. 2. Find the ratio your number is along your section of the log scale. So I measure the distance from 10 to my number and divide it by the distance from 10 to 100. The distance to my number from 10 = 20 mm The distance to 100 from 10 = 100 mm Therefore the ratio = 20/100 = 0.2 3. Find the value of your number by this formula: 10^(ratio) x previous log marker For me this = 10^0.2 x 10 = 1.585 x 10 = 15.85 4. You're done! your answer is 15.85 (x scale units). Another example: your value lies 3/4 of the way between 0.01 and 0.1 =10^0.75 x 0.01 = 5.623 x 0.01 = 0.0056

What is log log scale?
A log-log scale is a set of axes where each axis is logarithmic in scale.
How are logarithms used in our society?
Many scales such as sound and PH are log scales. The scale used to measure earthquakes is also a log scale. Whenever the data has a very wide range, a log scale might help.
What is the brightness of a star measurable by a scale called?

Why is the graph of log against pH a straight line?
pH is a logarithmic scale; because of the way calculus and maths works, graphing such a scale against a log results in a straight line.
Explain how to use a Doyle log scale?
The Doyle Log Scale, developed around 1825, is based on a mathematical formula and is widely used throughout the southern United States. This rule allows for a saw kerf of 5/16 inch (most circular mills). Because of this, the Doyle Rule is somewhat inconsistent; it underestimates small logs and overestimates large logs. To use a Doyle Log Scale measure the diameter of the log (not including the bark) and the length. Then using the Doyle scale you can calculate the board foot content of a log.
