No. The tiniest piece of a plane contains an infinite number of points. But if you

give us just three points, then we know exactly what plane you're talking about,

and it can't be any other plane.

How many planes will contain three non-collinear points?

Exactly one.


How many planes contain the same three collinear points?

Infinitely many planes may contain the same three collinear points if the planes all intersect at the same line.


How many planes will contain 2 points?

Infinitely many planes contain any two given points- it takes three (non-collinear) points to determine a plane.


How many planes will contain three non colliear points?

One.


How many planes can contain three point at the same time?

Only one plane can contain three specific points.


How many planes can possibly contain the three non collinear points?

There will always be a single plane through all three points.


How many planes can you draw through three non-collinear points?

Exactly one.


Is it possible for two different planes to contain the same line?

Yes, and in fact it is very likely that two planes will contain exactly one identical line. There are three possibilities:The planes are parallel, but not identical, in which case they contain no identical lines.The planes are not parallel, in which case they contain exactly one identical line.The planes are identical, and contain an infinite number of coplanar lines.


If three distinct points are not col-linear how many planes can possibly contain the three points?

Three non-co-linear points are sufficient to uniquely define a single plane.


How many different planes are determined by three noncollinear points?

3 non-collinear points define one plane.


How many planes can be drawn when three distinct points are collinear?

If the points are collinear, that means there's only one straight line. An infinite number of different planes can be drawn that contain one straight line.


In general how many planes are there which contain any number of given points?

There are no planes containing any number of given points. Two points not the same define a line. Three points not in a line define a plane. For four or more points to lie in the same plane, three can be arbitrary but not on the same line, but the fourth (and so on) points must lie in that same plane.
