Good answer anon although not many calcs do base three so you cannot just plug the numbers in and get an answer.    

 

I am going to write the question sightly differently

The log to base 3 of any number is the power numeral when you express that number as a power of 3.

For example, if we write 9 as 32 then you see the power there is 2, so when we take logs to base 3,

we write log 9 = 2

 

Summarising, log 32 = 2

 

so log 36 = ......

what answer do you get? 

If ever you're not sure your answer s right, you can always check using a calculator!
