Orthogonal projections in A5 Coxeter plane

In five-dimensional geometry, a rectified 5-cube is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 5-cube.

There are 5 degrees of rectifications of a 5-polytope, the zeroth here being the 5-cube, and the 4th and last being the 5-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 5-cube are located at the edge-centers of the 5-cube. Vertices of the birectified 5-cube are located in the square face centers of the 5-cube.

## Rectified 5-cube

Template:Uniform polyteron db

### Alternate names

* Rectified penteract (acronym: rin) (Jonathan Bowers)[1]

### Construction

The rectified 5-cube may be constructed from the 5-cube by truncating its vertices at the midpoints of its edges.

### Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the rectified 5-cube with edge length 2 is given by all permutations of:

(0, ±1, ±1, ±1, ±1)

## Birectified 5-cube

Template:Uniform polyteron db

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, identifying it as Cr52 as a second rectification of a 5-dimensional cross polytope.

### Alternate names

* Birectified 5-cube/penteract
* Birectified pentacross/5-orthoplex/triacontaditeron
* Penteractitriacontaditeron (acronym: nit) (Jonathan Bowers)[2]
* Rectified 5-demicube/demipenteract

### Construction and coordinates

The birectified 5-cube may be constructed by birectifying the vertices of the 5-cube at 2 of the edge length.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of a birectified 5-cube having edge length 2 are all permutations of:

(0, 0, ±1, ±1, ±1)
