A triangle is a figure formed by three segments and four coplanar points?

No. A trinagle does not require four points, three are sufficient. And any three points, if they are not colinear, must be coplanar.


How many points are needed to define a unique plane Are they any restrictions on the location of these points?

A unique plane is defined by three non-collinear points. This means that the points must not all lie on the same straight line. If the three points are collinear or if only two points are given, they do not suffice to define a unique plane. Thus, the key restriction is that the three points must be non-collinear.


For a point to be between two other points the three points must be?

They must be collinear.


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.


Are any three points coplanar?

In 3-dimensional space, yes, any three points are coplanar.


What three type of points determine a plane?

Any 3 points


What are the three points for coplanar but not collinear?

Two points (which must lie on a line) and the third point NOT on that line.


What three points can be the verticies of a triangle?

Any three points anywhere in space can be the vertices of a triangle, as long as all three are not colinear.


Can any three points be the vertices of a triangle?

no


Can noncollinear parts lie on the same plane?

Yes. In fact any three points that are not collinear define a plane and therefore MUST lie on a plane.


In geometry is it true that through any three points exists exactly one line?

No, given any three points, it is possible for one of the points not to be on the line defined by the other two points. Only two points on a line are needed to identify the exact position of the line. The positions of any three points gives you the exact position of the plane that includes those three points.No, it is not true. If it were true, all triangles would be straight lines !?!


What is the greatest number of lines determined by five points not three of which are collinear?

Since any two point must be collinear and must, therefore, define a line, the answer is 5C2, the number of combinations of two [points] out of five. This is 5*4/(2*1) = 10
