- Penteract
In five dimensional
geometry , a penteract is a name for a five dimensionalhypercube with 32 vertices, 80 edges, 80 square faces, 40 cubic cells, and 10tesseract hypercell s.The name "penteract" is derived from combining the name
tesseract (the "4-cube") with "pente" for five (dimensions) in Greek.It can also be called a regular deca-5-tope or decateron, being made of 10 regular facets.
It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called
hypercube s. The dual of a penteract can be called apentacross , of the infinite family ofcross-polytope s.Applying an "alternation" operation, deleting alternating vertices of the penteract, creates another
uniform polytope , called ademipenteract , which is also part of an infinite family called thedemihypercube s.Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a penteract centered at the origin and edge length 2 are: (±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)while the interior of the same consists of all points (x0, x1, x2, x3, x4) with -1 < xi < 1.Projections
