The great transitional 13-5 double step prism is a convex isogonal polychoron that consists of 26 bilaterally-symmetric notches, 13 tetragonal disphenoids, 52 phyllic disphenoids, and 52 irregular tetrahedra. 5 bilaterally-symmetric notches, 2 tetragonal disphenoids, 8 phyllic disphenoids, and 8 irregular tetrahedra join at each vertex. It can be obtained as the convex hull of two orthogonal 13-5 step prisms.

The ratio between the longest and shortest edges is approximately 1:2.98928.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

Coordinates for the vertices of a great transitional 13-5 double step prism are given by:

  • (a*sin(2πk/13), a*cos(2πk/13), b*sin(10πk/13), b*cos(10πk/13)),
  • (b*sin(2πk/13), b*cos(2πk/13), a*sin(10πk/13), a*cos(10πk/13)),

where a ≈ 0.1342686996111878133300549, b ≈ 2.0223594019664291689707605 and k is an integer from 0 to 12.
