Step-by-step explanation:

Logos is the use of persuasion to win over or convince someone using logic and reason. Logos is mostly used in advertisements by using statistics, facts, charts, graphs, etc to convince.

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was talking to the students at the Rice University about the logic of sending a man into space. He used logos to try and convince them that although the budget was high, it wasn't as high as what the citizenry pay for cigarettes and cigars every year.
