In a geometry class, students are asked to describe the dimensions of a plane based on the components that create a plane. Which student’s response is correct?  1.Mark states that a plane has zero dimensions because it is made up of three noncollinear points. 2.Stacy states that a plane has two dimensions because it is made up of an infinite number of lines. 3.Dewayne states that a plane has one dimension because it contains the line intersecting two points.  4.Candice states that a plane can have multiple dimensions depending on how many points are labeled.
