Every set of three points is coplanar. True or False

True.

Three points not in a single plane, but sharing an infinite number of planes: |dw:1376591243074:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In general three points are always coplanar. But if they are also in a straight line (i.e. are collinear), then they will share infinite number of planes.

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

So if the question asked if 3 points \(always\) define a single plane. Then false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question was (I think) whether three points lie in a plane. They always do (be it one or infinite) so the answer is true.

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

I agree. True.
