Slab (geometry)

In geometry, a "slab" typically refers to a three-dimensional shape that is essentially a thick, flat object bounded by two parallel surfaces. This can be visualized as a rectangular prism with very small height relative to its length and width, resembling a sheet or a plate. In a more formal mathematical context, particularly in the study of convex geometry, a slab can be defined by two parallel hyperplanes in higher-dimensional spaces.
