tan(100) =~ -5.671
It's a ratio, why would it be in terms of pi?

What is the tangent of 100 degrees and 80 degrees in terms of pi
----
You usually do not give tangent values in terms of pi.
You usually use pi to state the size of an angle.
-------
tan(100 degrees) = tan(90 + 10) = -5.67
----
tan(80 degrees) = tan(90-10) = 5.67
