Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to evaluate three trigonometric expressions: tan(10)\tan(10^\circ), cos(81)\cos(81^\circ), and sin(55)\sin(55^\circ). Each value will be rounded to the nearest hundredth.

2. Relevant Concepts

The relevant concepts involve the properties of trigonometric functions, where we will use:

  • tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ)\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}
  • The calculations for cosine and sine functions.

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. Calculate tan(10)\tan(10^\circ):

    • Using a calculator, we find: tan(10)0.1763 \tan(10^\circ) \approx 0.1763
    • Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: tan(10)0.18 \tan(10^\circ) \approx 0.18
  2. Calculate cos(81)\cos(81^\circ):

    • Using a calculator, we find: cos(81)0.1564 \cos(81^\circ) \approx 0.1564
    • Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: cos(81)0.16 \cos(81^\circ) \approx 0.16
  3. Calculate sin(55)\sin(55^\circ):

    • Using a calculator, we find: sin(55)0.8192 \sin(55^\circ) \approx 0.8192
    • Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: sin(55)0.82 \sin(55^\circ) \approx 0.82

4. Verify and Summarize

The calculations have been checked using a scientific calculator, and rounding has been applied correctly to each expression.

Final Answer

tan(10)0.18,cos(81)0.16,sin(55)0.82 \tan(10^\circ) \approx 0.18, \quad \cos(81^\circ) \approx 0.16, \quad \sin(55^\circ) \approx 0.82
