What does coplanar mean in geometry?

Coplanar means on the same plane. As co-linear means on the same line.


What does coplanar mean?

Coplanar means existing on the same plane. It is used in geometry to refer to points or shapes that all exist on one geometric plane.


Can a triangle be coplanar?

In Euclidean plane geometry every triangle MUST BE coplanar.


Is two lines that are transversal always never or sometimes coplanar?

They are always coplanar in Euclidean geometry.


What is the definition of non coplanar?

Non-coplanar simply means not on the same plane (referring to points on a plane; geometry)


A line and a point not on a line are coplanar?

Yes, in Euclidean geometry.


If two lines are not coplanar then they are neither intersecting nor parallel?

CorrectParallel lines as well as intersecting lines must be coplanar (in Euclidean geometry not quite sure about hyperbolic geometry...).Lines in space which neither are coplanar nor intersecting are called "skew"


If four points are coplanar then they are noncollinear?

They need not be. The four vertices of a quadrilateral are coplanar but NOT collinear. On the other hand, any line (in Eucledian geometry) has an infinite number of points on it - all of which are coplanar.


Are parallel lines coplanar?

In Euclidean geometry, parallel line are alwayscoplanar.


What kind of lines cant lay on the same plane in geometry?

Non coplanar lines.


A line and a point not on the line are never coplanar?

No, they always are From Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" when I searched coplanar In geometry, a set of points in space is coplanar if the points all lie in the same geometric plane. For example, three distinct points are always coplanar; but four points in space are usually not coplanar. Since 3 points are always coplanar. A point and line are always coplanar


If two distinct coplanar lines are not parallel their intersection is a?

In Euclidian geometry it's a point. In non-Euclidean geometry all bets are off.
