- Bitruncated 5-cell
In four dimensional
geometry , the bitruncated5-cell , or bitruncated pentachoron, is a 4-dimensionalpolytope , orpolychoron , composed of 10 cells in the shape of truncated tetrahedra. Each hexagonal face of the truncated tetrahedra is joined in complementary orientation to the neighboring truncated tetrahedron. Each edge is shared by two hexagonal faces and one triangular face.The bitruncated 5-cell is the intersection of two pentachora in dual configuration.
It is one of the two non-regular uniform polychora which are
cell-transitive . The other is thebitruncated 24-cell , which is composed of 48 truncated cubes.Alternative names
