1/(3sqrt(11))1311

Explanation:

Let theta=sin^(-1)(0.1) Rightarrow sin(theta)=0.1=1/10=("Opposite")/("Hypotenuse")θ=sin1(0.1)sin(θ)=0.1=110=OppositeHypotenuse

Let ("Opposite")=1(Opposite)=1 and ("Hypotenuse")=10(Hypotenuse)=10.

By Pythagorean Theorem,

("Adjacent")=sqrt(10^2-1^2)=sqrt(99)=3sqrt(11)(Adjacent)=10212=99=311

Hence,

tan(sin^(-1)(0.1))=tan theta=("Opposite")/("Adjacent")=1/(3sqrt(11))tan(sin1(0.1))=tanθ=OppositeAdjacent=1311

I hope that this was clear.
