CHALLENGE: Suppose I'm given a plane in 3D space. I know the (x,y,z) coordinates for two of the vertices of the plane. How would I determine the coordinates of other vertices - (dependent of course, on the shape)? Help much appreciated! On a test I have on monday, I will be given a plane and needed to calculate such vertices on a plane. I have done this on a square, but the test won't have a square. I won't know what shape it is until I see it on the test. HELP, Please!

Perhaps vector related(?), @KingGeorge?

I'm a little confused about the question. If you're just given two points on a plane, any third point you pick could also be on a plane with those two point.

What I mean is this: |dw:1335665524067:dw| How would I find the coordinates of the other vertices?
