Plane (geometry), set of points making up a flat two-dimensional surface that has length and width but no depth. A plane is similar to an infinitely large tabletop that has no edges. Only one plane exists that contains any three points that do not all lie on a single line.

Any specific plane can therefore be defined by providing three such points that lie on the plane.
