$log100=2$

One way we can approach log problems is to remember that

$a^b=c <=> log_ac=b$

In our question, since the value of $a$ in the right hand side log isn't specifically listed, it's assumed to be 10. So what we have is:

$a^b=c <=> log_10(100)=b$

$10^b=100 <=> log_10(100)=b$

By observation of the left hand side, we can see that $b=2$
