A minimum of three points are required to define a plne (if they are not collinear). And in projective geometry you can have a plane with only 3 points. Boring, but true. In normal circumstances, a plane will have infinitely many points. Not only that, there are infinitely many in the tiniest portion of the plane.

How many points does a noncollinear plane has?

Any Euclidean plane has infinitely many points.


Does a plane has two points?

A plane has an infinite number of points. It takes 3 points to fix a plane i.e. you need 3 points to identify one unique plane.


What is the set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane?

The set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane is named a parabola.


How many non-collinear points are there in one plane?

There are an infinite number of any kind of points in any plane. But once you have three ( 3 ) non-collinear points, you know exactly which plane they're in, because there's no other plane that contains the same three non-collinear points.


How many points make a plane?

It takes three points to make a plane. The points need to be non-co-linear. These three points define a distinct plane, but the plane can be made up of an infinite set of points.


How many non collinear points are needed to create a plane?

To create a plane, infinitely many. But to uniquely define one, 3 are enough.


How many different planes are determined by three noncollinear points?

3 non-collinear points define one plane.


How many sets does an angle separate a plane?

An angle separates a plane to 3 sets: 1) Points between the 2 rays 2) Points on one of the rays 3) Points outside of the 2 rays


How many points does a plane have?

Infinite.


Can 3 points be non-coplanar is outside the plane?

If you are given a plane, you can always find and number of points that are not in that plane but, given anythree points there is always at least one plane that goes through all three.


What is Three points determine a plane?

If you were to have 3 points on the same line, then you would actually not be determining a plane, because there are infinitely many planes that can intersect a given line. But if you have 3 points in the form of the points (or vertices) of a triangle, then you determine a plane in the sense that there is only one possible plane upon which that triangle can be drawn (not including a degenerate triangle, which is equivalent to a line).
