What's the fastest way to find Anti Logarithms(not using interpolation or a log table)

Question

can anyone give me an example using any kind of value? (preferably solving triangles)

Answer 1

Use your scientific calculator

the operations of log and 10^x , which should be found on your calculator, are inverses of each other

e.g
suppose you want log 35.5

on mine the key strokes are as follows:
log
35.5
=
to get 1.55022...

Now you want antilog 1.55022
which is really just 10^1.55022...
so you could use the y^x key
such as
10
y^x
1.55022...
=
to get back the 35.5

or

2ndF
log
1.55022...
=
to get 35.499999.... (which is 35.5 for all practical purposes)

practise the above using some different values.
