If points are contained in the same line they are called coplanar?

Collinear


Is it true that three points are always contained in exactly one plane?

3 points must always be contained in one plane, as 2 make a line, it makes no difference as to where the third point is, it will exist in the same plane in the two. Aside from all three points being in a line, this is always true.


If four points are collinear they are also coplanar?

Yes, since any line can be contained in a plane.


If points P and Q are contained in a plane the PQ is entirely contained in that plane?

Yes, if points P and Q are contained in a plane, then the line segment connecting P and Q, denoted as PQ, is also entirely contained in that plane. This is a fundamental property of planes in Euclidean geometry, where any line segment formed by two points within the same plane must lie entirely within that plane. Therefore, the assertion is correct.


If four point are collinear they are also coplanar true or false?

True. If four points are collinear, they lie on the same straight line, which means they can also be contained within a plane. Since any three points define a plane, and all four points lie on the same line, they are indeed coplanar.


What is the points that do not line on the same line?

Non-collinear points.


Three points lying on the same straight line are called?

Points on the same line are called collinear points.


What are collinear points?

Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. Noncollinear points do not lie on the same line. Any two points are always collinear, i.e. forming a line. Three or more points can be collinear along a single line.Collinear points lies on the same straight line.


What do we call points A B and C are on the same line?

They are collinear points that lie on the same line


If the points are on the same line then the points are collinear?

Three or more points that lie on the same straight line are called Collinear.


Noncollinear points lie on the same line?

You have to have three or more points to have non-colinear points because any two points determine a line. Noncolinear are NOT on the same line.


Is it true without exception that if P Q R are points contained by plane X and also by plane Y then X is the same plane as Y?

No. If the points are all in a straight line, then they could lie along the line of intersection of both planes. Mark three points on a piece of paper, in a straight line, and then fold the paper along that line so that the paper makes two intersecting planes. The three points on on each plane, but the plants are not the same.
