10-orthoplex
In geometry, a 10-orthoplex or 10-cross polytope, is a regular 10-polytope with 20 vertices, 180 edges, 960 triangle faces, 3360 tetrahedron cells, 8064 5-cell 4-faces, 13440 5-faces, 15360 6-faces, 11520 7-faces, 5120 8-faces, and 1024 9-faces.
It has two constructed forms, the first being regular with Schläfli symbol, and the second with alternately labeled facets, with Schläfli symbol or Coxeter symbol 711.
It is one of an infinite family of polytopes, called cross-polytopes or orthoplexes. The dual polytope is the 10-hypercube or 10-cube.
Alternate names
- Decacross is derived from combining the family name cross polytope with deca for ten in Greek. Acronym: kaChilliaicositetraronnon as a 1024-facetted 10-polytope.
Construction
There are two Coxeter groups associated with the 10-orthoplex, one regular, dual of the 10-cube with the C10 or symmetry group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of 9-simplex facets, alternating, with the D10 or symmetry group.Cartesian coordinates
