Points all in one plane?
Two dimensional geometry.
Can there be four points in one plane?
There can be any number of points on a plane, or even on a line - and any number of lines on a plane.
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.
What three points determine a pane?
Any 3 geometric points, as long as they are all in different locations and not superimposed on each other, will define a plane. In other words, there is only one plane that can pass through 3 distinct points. If you had only two points, it would define a line, but not a plane. A plane can include 2 points but if there are only 2 that are specified, the plane can rotate around those 2 points, generating infinitely many planes.
Given two points A and B in the three dimensional space what is the set of points equidistant from A and B?
A plane is the set of all points in 3-D space equidistant from two points, A and B. If it will help to see it, the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from points A and B in the plane will be a line. Extend that thinking off the plane and you'll have another plane perpendicular to the original plane, the one with A and B in it. And the question specified that A and B were in 3-D space. Another way to look at is to look at a line segment between A and B. Find the midpoint of that line segment, and then draw a plane perpendicular to the line segment, specifying that that plane also includes the midpoint of the line segment AB. Same thing. The set of all points that make up that plane will be equidistant from A and B. At the risk of running it into the ground, given a line segment AB, if the line segment is bisected by a plane perpendicular to the line segment, it (the plane) will contain the set of all points equidistant from A and B.
What is the set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane?
The set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane is named a parabola.
Can 3 points be non-coplanar is outside the plane?
If you are given a plane, you can always find and number of points that are not in that plane but, given anythree points there is always at least one plane that goes through all three.
Points all in one plane?
Two dimensional geometry.
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.
Is there a record called all points west?
No, but there is one called all points east...
Does a plane has two points?
A plane has an infinite number of points. It takes 3 points to fix a plane i.e. you need 3 points to identify one unique plane.
Can there be four points in one plane?
There can be any number of points on a plane, or even on a line - and any number of lines on a plane.
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.
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.
One plane always passes through three noncollinear points?
If you're asking a question, then the answer is 'no'. If you're making a statement, then the statement is false. I can always lay a single plane down on any three points you choose. If your points are in the same straight line, then there an infinite number of other planes that your points all lie in. If they're not all in the same straight line, then there's only one plane.

What is the definition of coplanar points?
>Two points that lie on the same plane. Any pair of points on the plane will thus >form a line. (In most basic geometry classes, the majority of the class work is >only concerned with one plane) Any number of points can be coplanar. In fact, any 3 points are always coplanar, and if they are not colinear (all three on the same line), they define a unique plane.
