Compound of five truncated cubes Type Uniform compound Index UC57 Polyhedra 5 truncated cubes Faces 40 triangles, 30 octagons Edges 180 Vertices 120 Symmetry group icosahedral (Ih) Subgroup restricting to one constituent pyritohedral (Th) This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 truncated cubes, formed by truncating each of the cubes in the compound of 5 cubes.
Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of
- (±(2+√2), ±√2, ±(2+√2))
- (±τ, ±(τ−1+τ−1√2), ±(2τ−1+τ√2))
- (±1, ±(τ−2−τ−1√2), ±(τ2+τ√2))
- (±(1+√2), ±(−τ−2−√2), ±(τ2+√2))
- (±(τ+τ√2), ±(−τ−1), ±(2τ−1+τ−1√2))
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
