Answer:

The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

Collinear points--

Two or more points are said to be collinear if they lie on the same line.

Non-collinear points--

Two or more points are said to be noncollinear if they do not lie on a straight line.

Coplanar points--

The point which lie on the same plane are said coplanar.

  • We know that two or three points whether or not they are collinear always lie in the same plane. whereas four noncollinear points may not lie in the same plane.

Hence,

Any three noncollinear points are also considered to be coplanar.
