2
Reading the scale- logarithmic Simple scale C or D One cycle More complex A or B Two cycles SQUARES Square root found on C/D K scale is the cubed Cube root is on C/D
3
Use the C & D scales Index is either end (1) Place slider (C) index right or left opposite the value you wish to multiply [multiplier] (D) Move the cursor to the other value [multiplicand] you are multiplying by Result [product] is below on the (D)
4
Inverse of multiplication Using the C & D scales Locate the divisor on D Slide the dividend on C over the divisor Move the cursor to the index on C Your quotient is found below the index on D
5
Since division is the inverse of multiplication Multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor yields the same result Reciprocals are found in the ‘I’ scales (CI or DI)
6
Set up the proportion as it is written using the C scale with the value on the top over the second value on D Move the cursor to other given value and read the unknown Example 7/8 = x/2
7
S, T & ST scales are used ANGLE is read on these scales the value for the fcn is on C or D For angles ~5.7 ° and less use the ST scale S is for sines (increases from left to right) T is for tangents (90- angle) then use sin scale for cos
