Answer

{$\frac{3}{2}$}

Work Step by Step

For all positive numbers $a$, where $a\ne1$, and all positive numbers $x$, we know that $y=log_{a}x$ means the same as $x=a^{y}$. Therefore, $log_{6}\sqrt 216=x$ means the same as $6^{x}=\sqrt 216$. We know that $x=\frac{3}{2}$, because $6^{\frac{3}{2}}=(6^{3})^{\frac{1}{2}}=216^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt 216$.
