\tan^2\theta-\sin^2\theta=(\sin^2\theta)/(\cos^2\theta)-\sin^2\theta

=\sin^2\theta\left(\frac1{\cos^2\theta}-1\right)

=\sin^2\theta(\sec^2\theta-1)

=\sin^2\theta\tan^2\theta

Now if
0^\circ<\theta<90^\circ, then both
\sin\theta>0 and
\tan\theta>0. Adding two positive numbers gives another positive number, so
\tan\theta+\sin\theta>0. Why this is useful will be apparent shortly.

Back to the identity:


\tan^2\theta-\sin^2\theta=\tan^2\theta\sin^2\theta

Factorizing the left hand side, we have


(\tan\theta-\sin\theta)(\tan\theta+\sin\theta)=\tan^2\theta\sin^2\theta

Now, any number squared will be positive, which means the right hand side is necessarily greater than 0.

We showed earlier that
\tan\theta+\sin\theta>0. So we understand that we have


\underbrace{(\tan\theta-\sin\theta)}_?\underbrace{(\tan\theta+\sin\theta)}_+=\underbrace{\tan^2\theta\sin^2\theta}_+

The only way to multiply a number by a positive number to get yet another positive number is to have the first number also be positive, which means


\tan\theta-\sin\theta>0

and from this it follows that


\tan\theta>\sin\theta

in the provided region.
