For instance a plane.
False. Three collinear points determine a line while three non-collinear points determine a plane ( A Triangle)
A definition, perhaps.
Plane. (That's why a 3-legged stool never wobbles.)
3.Any three points will determine a plane, provided they are not collinear. If you pick any two points, you can draw a line to connect them.

Any three points that are non-collinear (not on the same line) will determine a plane.

There are an infinite number of any kind of points in any plane. But once you have three ( 3 ) non-collinear points, you know exactly which plane they're in, because there's no other plane that contains the same three non-collinear points.
Any three points will determine a plane, provided they are not collinear. If you pick any two points, you can draw a line to connect them. An infinite number of planes can be drawn that include the line. But if you pick a third point that does not lie on the line. There will be exactly one plane that will contain the line and that point you added last. Only oneplane can contain the line, which was determined by the first two points, and the last point.
To create a plane, infinitely many. To uniquely determine a plane, just three.
Three
Yes. You require three non-collinear points to uniquely define a plane!
Infinitely many planes contain any two given points- it takes three (non-collinear) points to determine a plane.
