- Decacross
A decacross, is a regular
10-polytope with 20 vertices, 180 edges, 960 triangle faces, 3360 octahedron cells, 80645-cell s "4-faces", 13440 "5-faces", 15360 "6-faces", 11520 "7-faces", 5120 "8-faces", and 1024 "9-faces".It is one of an infinite family of polytopes, called
cross-polytope s or "orthoplexes". The dual polytope is the 10-hypercube or10-cube .The name "decacross" is derived from combining the family name "cross polytope" with "deca" for ten (dimensions) in Greek.
Construction
There are two
Coxeter group s associated with the "decacross", one regular, dual of the10-cube with the C10 or [4,38] symmetry group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of 9-simplex facets, alternating, with the D10 or [37,1,1] symmetry group.Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of an enneacross, centered at the origin are: (±1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0), (0,±1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0), (0,0,±1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0), (0,0,0,±1,0,0,0,0,0,0), (0,0,0,0,±1,0,0,0,0,0), (0,0,0,0,0,±1,0,0,0,0), (0,0,0,0,0,0,±1,0,0,0), (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,±1,0,0), (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,±1,0), (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,±1)Every vertex pair is connected by an edge, except opposites.
