The tangent function is equal to the sine divided by the cosine. In quadrant III, both sin and cos are negative - and a negative divided by another negative is positive. Thus it follows that the tangent is positive in QIII.

Tangent and cotangent positive; other 4 negative.
The tangent and cotangent functions.
There are four quadrants. They are represented by Roman numerals : I(one), II(two), III(three), IV(four). The first quadrant contains all positive points , (+x, +y) The second quadrant contains negative x's and positive y's , (-x, +y) The third quadrant is all negative , (-x, -y) The fourth quadrant has negative y's and positive x's , (+x, -y)
The value of tan and sin is positive so you must search quadrant that tan and sin value is positive. The only quadrant fill that qualification is Quadrant 1.
Quadrant angles are angles formed in the coordinate plane by the x-axis and y-axis. Each quadrant is a region bounded by the x-axis and y-axis, and is numbered counterclockwise starting from the positive x-axis. The angles in each quadrant have specific characteristics based on their trigonometric ratios, such as sine, cosine, and tangent values. In trigonometry, understanding quadrant angles is crucial for determining the sign of trigonometric functions and solving equations involving angles.
