The great 10-3 double step prism is a convex isogonal polychoron that consists of 10 tetragonal disphenoids, 20 phyllic disphenoids, and 80 irregular tetrahedra of two kinds. 2 tetragonal disphenoids, 4 phyllic disphenoids, and 16 irregular tetrahedra join at each vertex. I t can be obtained as one of several polychora formed as the convex hull of two orthogonal 10-3 step prisms.

This polychoron cannot be optimized using the ratio method, because the solution (a/b = (3-√5)/2) would yield a biambodecachoron instead.

Vertex coordinates

Coordinates for the vertices of a great 10-3 double step prism are given by:

• (a*sin(2πk/10), a*cos(2πk/10), b*sin(6πk/10), b*cos(6πk/10)),
• (b*sin(2πk/10), b*cos(2πk/10), a*sin(6πk/10), a*cos(6πk/10)),

where a/b is greater than ${\frac {7-3{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}$ but less than ${\frac {3-{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}$ and k is an integer from 0 to 9.
