The discussion centers on the placement of points on a graph in Desmos, specifically questioning why a point does not appear at the endpoint of a line. It suggests that the mathematical expression involving $\frac{\pi}{6}$ and trigonometric functions may influence this placement. The user contemplates the relationship between the slope, represented as $m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, and the angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$. This indicates a potential misunderstanding of how endpoints are determined in the context of the graph. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately interpreting mathematical expressions when graphing.

Because $\frac\pi 6\cdot 47\cos(\frac\pi 6) < 47 \sin(\frac\pi 6)$? (Thinking)
 
ok so $\displaystyle m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ not $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{6}$
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
