In 5-dimensional geometry, the 5-cube 5-orthoplex compound [1] is a polytope compound composed of a regular 5-cube and dual regular 5-orthoplex. [2] A compound polytope is a figure that is composed of several polytopes sharing a common center. The outer vertices of a compound can be connected to form a convex polytope called the convex hull. The compound is a facetting of the convex hull.

Contents

In 5-polytope compounds constructed as dual pairs, the hypercells and vertices swap positions and cells and edges swap positions. Because of this the number of hypercells and vertices are equal, as are cells and edges. Mid-edges of the 5-cube cross mid-cell in the 16-cell, and vice versa.

It can be seen as the 5-dimensional analogue of a compound of cube and octahedron.

Construction

The 42 Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the compound are.

10: (±2, 0, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±2, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±2, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±2, 0), (0, 0, 0, 0, ±2)
32: (±1, ±1, ±1, ±1, ±1)

The convex hull of the vertices makes the dual of rectified 5-orthoplex.

The intersection of the 5-cube and 5-orthoplex compound is the uniform birectified 5-cube: CDel node 1.pngCDel split1.pngCDel nodes.pngCDel 4a3b.pngCDel nodes.png = CDel node.pngCDel split1.pngCDel nodes.pngCDel 4a3b.pngCDel nodes 10l.pngCDel node.pngCDel split1.pngCDel nodes.pngCDel 4a3b.pngCDel nodes 01l.png.

Images

The compound can be seen in projection as the union of the two polytope graphs. The convex hull as the dual of the rectified 5-orthoplex will have the same vertices, but different edges.

5-cell Four-dimensional analogue of the tetrahedron

In geometry, the 5-cell is the convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,3,3}. It is a 5-vertex four-dimensional object bounded by five tetrahedral cells. It is also known as a C5, pentachoron, pentatope, pentahedroid, or tetrahedral pyramid. It is the 4-simplex (Coxeter's polytope), the simplest possible convex 4-polytope, and is analogous to the tetrahedron in three dimensions and the triangle in two dimensions. The 5-cell is a 4-dimensional pyramid with a tetrahedral base and four tetrahedral sides.
