![**Trigonometric Ratios: Understanding Tangent**
To find the tangent of an angle in a right triangle, use the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
**Problem**
Find the tangent of ∠C.
**Triangle Details:**
- Triangle ECD is a right triangle.
- ∠E is a right angle.
- Side lengths:
- CE = 33
- CD = 56
**Question**
Calculate tan(C) using the formula:
\[ \tan(C) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}} \]
In this triangle:
- The opposite side to ∠C is CE = 33.
- The adjacent side to ∠C is CD = 56.
**Equation**
\[ \tan(C) = \frac{33}{56} \]
**Simplify your answer** and express it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.
