The small 13-5 double step prism is a convex isogonal polychoron that consists of 13 tetragonal disphenoids, 52 phyllic disphenoids of two kinds and 52 irregular tetrahedra obtained as the convex hull of two orthogonal 13-5 step prisms.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is approximately 1:1.58440.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

Coordinates for the vertices of a small 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 = 2/(2sec(2π/13)+sec(2π/13)4+2cos(π/13)+2sin(3π/26)-2), b = (2+2+cos(π/13)+sin(3π/26))/(2-2cos(2π/13)+4+2cos(π/13)+2sin(3π/26)) and k is an integer from 0 to 12.
