Thanks for looking at this~! The question is- Only one plane can pass through three noncollinear points. This doesnt make any sense to me and I have a test tomorrow so help is needed!

You should be studying some of the basic POSTULATES (assumptions) for geometry....

These are statements that are ASSUMED to be true without proof. One of these postulates should say something pretty much like this:

Three non-collinear points are contained in exactly one plane. (or maybe "Three noncollinear points determine a plane.")

Can you find that in your book? This postulate says that if you have three points that do NOT lie on the same line, then there is exactly one plane that contains those three points.

Since your statement basically says just what this postulate says, we must accept it as TRUE.
