That follows from the definition of the sine function. There are several equivalent definitions, but for example, it can be defined as the y-coordinate of the unit circle, as a function of the angle. You start measuring the circle from coordinates (1,0), and continue counterclockwise.

_________________________________________

This is because both sin definition is the length of line opposite to the angle divided by the angle side line. Since both lines are positive in the first quadrant, the sin value is positive.
