3. Use a tripod as an example. It has 3 legs that can move around, yet as long as they are the same size, it stands up straight.

Can two points determine a plane?

No, 2 points define a line, 3 points define a plane.


Does a plane have only two points?

No, two points define a line. It takes three points to define a plane.

How many noncollinear points are needed to define a plane?

Three.


Give a line and a point not on the line how many planes do they define?

They define one plane. A line is defined by two points, and it takes three points to define a plane, so two points on the line, and one more point not on the line equals one plane.


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.


Can three points that define a plane also define a different plane?

No, only one UNIQUE Plane.


How many points can be on one plane?

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 are used to define a plane?

A plane in three-dimensional space is defined by three non-collinear points. If the points are collinear, they do not define a unique plane, as an infinite number of planes can pass through a line. Therefore, at least three points that are not on the same line are necessary to establish a distinct plane.


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.
