Do three linear points make a triangle?
I think the question you mean to ask is, "Do three collinear points make a triangle?" Linear is simply the adjective form of "line", "collinear" is used to describe points that lie on the same line. (Two points not only can be collinear, but always are, so it makes little sense to describe them as such).Collinear points cannot make a triangle, a triangle requires three noncollinear points.
How do you draw four noncollinear points?
-- The four corners of a square are non-collinear. -- The four corners of a rectangle are non-collinear. -- The four vertices of any rhombus, parallelogram, or quadrilateral are non-collinear. -- Any four vertices of any polygon with more than 3 sides are non-collinear. -- The three vertices of any triangle are non-collinear, and they stay that way when you add any other point on the same piece of paper. -- Any four points on any circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola are non-collinear. -- If at least one point is on a different floor of the house from the other three, then the four points are non-collinear. -- Make three dots on a piece of paper. Cover them up. Walk away for a few minutes. Come back. Make another dot on the paper. Uncover the first three. We're almost positive that the four dots are non-collinear.
Does collinear points make a triangle?
no coliner points donot make triangle
What is non colinear point?
non collinear point or points? no collinear points are points not on the same line. keep in mind that you have to have at least 3 points to make that happen.
How do you make a linear equation go through three points?
In general, a linear equation CANNOT be made to go through three points. That will only happen if the three points are collinear and in that case, the equation of the line will only require two points.
