Flat (geometry)
text:
In geometry, a flat is an affine subspace, i.e. a subset of an affine space that is itself an affine space. Particularly, in the case the parent space is Euclidean, a flat is a Euclidean subspace which inherits the notion of distance from its parent space. In an n-dimensional space, there are k-flats of every dimension k from 0 to n; flats one dimension lower than the parent space, (n − 1)-flats, are called hyperplanes. The flats in a plane are points, lines, and the plane itself; the flats in t
