If 90 < x < 135, then which of the following must be correct?

1. tan x < cos x
2. sin x < cos x
3. tan x < sin x

The answer is 1 & 3. And I want to know why option 1 must be correct. Is there any algebraic method that can be used to calculate this?

Brief answers are okay.

1 tan x is increased from minus infinity to -1

cos x is decreased from 0 to √ 2/2

So, (1) should be true

2 sin x is positive and cos x is negative

(2) should be false

3 tan x is increased from minus infinity to -1

sin x is decreased from 1 to √ 2/2

(3) should be true
