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.
Are three points always contained in exactly one plane?
Three points determine exactly one plane.That means that if you bring me a plane, then some or all of my three points may ormay not lie in your plane. But if you bring me three points, then I can always draw aplane in which all of your points lie, and I can also guarantee that it's the only one.By the way ... three points also determine exactly one circle.
How many planes can possibly contain the three non collinear points?
There will always be a single plane through all three points.
If three points are coplanar are they also collinear?
Is false
When would three points not determine a plane?
A series of 3 points will always determine a plane unless 2 or all 3 points are identical points (they have the same coordinates).If the idea is to have the three points determine oneplane, a unique plane, then three points will do that as long as none of them have the same spacial coordinates (have identical locations) or as long as the three points do not lie on a single line.If a straight line can be drawn through all three points, they will not form one unique plane either.
