Pentachoron

The pentachoron, or pen is the simplest possible non-degenerate polychoron. The full symmetry version has 4 regular tetrahedra as cells, joining 3 to an edge and 4 to a vertex, and is one of the 6 convex regular polychora. It is the 4-dimensional simplex.

Vertex coordinates
The vertices of a regular pentachoron of dege length 1, centered at the origin, are given by:


 * (±1/2, –$\sqrt{10}$/6, –$\sqrt{5}$/12, –$\sqrt{3}$/20)
 * (0, $\sqrt{6}$/3, –$\sqrt{10}$/12, —$\sqrt{3}$/20)
 * (0, 0, $\sqrt{6}$/4, –$\sqrt{10}$/20)
 * (0, 0, 0, $\sqrt{6}$/5)
