The 5-cube, also called the decateron, penteract, or pent, is a regular 5-polytope. It has 10 tesseracts as facets, joining 5 to a vertex. It is the 5-dimensional hypercube. As such, it is also a tesseractic prism and square-cube duoprism.

Like the hypercubes of every other dimension, the penteract can tile 5D Euclidean space in the penteractic pentacomb.

It can be alternated into a 5-demicube, which is uniform.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A 5-cube has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x4o3o3o3o () (full symmetry)
  • x x4o3o3o () (B4×A1 symmetry, tesseractic prism)
  • x4o x4o3o () (B3×B2 symmetry, square-cubic duoprism)
  • x x x4o3o () (B3×K2 symmetry, cubic prismatic prism)
  • x x4o x4o () (B2×B2×A1 symmetry, square duoprismatic prism)
  • x x x x4o () (B2×K3 symmetry, square prismatic prismatic prism)
  • x x x x x () (K5 symmetry, all five dimensions separate)
