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.
How many points are needed to name a plane?
zero
What would happen if three collinear points are used to define a plane?
Three collinear points don't define a plane."Define" means narrow it down to one and only one unique plane, so that it can't be confused with any other one.There are many different planes (actually infinite) that can contain three collinear points, so no unique plane is defined.
How many points does a noncollinear plane has?
Any Euclidean plane has infinitely many points.
How many different lines are determined by two points?
In classical or Euclidean plane geometry two points defines exactly one line. On a sphere two points can define infinitely many lines only one of which will represent the shortest distance between the points. On other curved surfaces, or in non-Euclidean geometries, the number of lines determined by two points can vary. Even in the Euclidean plane, two points determine infinitely many lines that are not straight!
How many noncollinear points are needed to define a plane?
Three.
How many points define a plan?
4 points define a 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.
How many non-collinear points 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.
How many points are needed to define an angle?
2
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 needed to name a plane?
zero
How many points are needed to define a specific line?
Two.
What would happen if three collinear points are used to define a plane?
Three collinear points don't define a plane."Define" means narrow it down to one and only one unique plane, so that it can't be confused with any other one.There are many different planes (actually infinite) that can contain three collinear points, so no unique plane is defined.
In general how many planes are there which contain any number of given points?
There are no planes containing any number of given points. Two points not the same define a line. Three points not in a line define a plane. For four or more points to lie in the same plane, three can be arbitrary but not on the same line, but the fourth (and so on) points must lie in that same plane.
