1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $3^{10}$. 2. The expression $a^n$ means multiplying the base $a$ by itself $n$ times. 3. Here, the base is 3 and the exponent is 10, so we multiply 3 by itself 10 times. 4. Calculating step-by-step: $$3^{10} = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$$ 5. This equals 59049. 6. Therefore, the value of $3^{10}$ is 59049.
