On the basis of detailed tables of signals from Yakutsk extensive air shower scintillation detectors that were calculated using the GEANT4 package, the numerical evaluation of the energy Eθ of inclined extensive air showers has been obtained using a pilot signal at a distance of 1000 m from the shower axis and the known zenith angle θ using the CORSIKA package. This original estimate was obtained without using the method of cutting the signal spectra according to lines of equal intensity. We also obtained the values of practical units of measure for signals in ground-based and underground detectors.
