If I plot two log equations in x and y I get an obvious intersection, but when I try solve on them I get nothing. Is there a way to get a mathematical solution that gibes with the plot?
var('x y')
implicit_plot(log(x*sqrt(y)),(x,0,8),(y,0,8),color="black") + implicit_plot(log(x^2*y^2),(x,0,8),(y,0,8),color="red")
solve(log(x*sqrt(y)) == log(x^2*y^2),x,y)

Your curves are the plots of $\log(x\sqrt{y})=0$ and $\log(x^2y^2)=0$ respectively. The equation $\log(x\sqrt{y})=\log(x^2y^2)$ is more general, and has an infinity of solutions:
sage: (log(x*sqrt(y))==log(x^2*y^2)).log_expand().solve(y)
[y == x^(-2/3)]
The intersection point of your curves is a special case of this general solution, where both left-hand and right-hand of the equation are null ; this is a system of two equations, which Sage can solve:
sage: solve([log(x*sqrt(y))==0,log(x^2*y^2)==0],[x,y])
[[x == 1, y == 1]]
