In give-dimensional geometry, a rectified 5-cube is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 5-cube.

There are unique 5 degrees of rectifications, the zeroth being the 5-cube, and the 5th and last being the 5-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 5-cube are located at the edge-centers of the 5-cube. Vertices of the birectified 5-ocube are located in the square face centers of the 5-cube.

Construction

The rectified 5-cube may be constructed from the 5-cube by truncating its vertices at the midpoints of its edges.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the rectified 5-cube with edge length ${\sqrt {2}}$ is given by all permutations of:

$(0,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 1)$

Construction and coordinates

The birectified 5-cube may be constructed by birectifing the vertices of the 5-cube at ${\sqrt {2}}$ of the edge length.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of a birectified 5-cube having edge length 2 are all permutations of:

$\left(0,\ 0,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 1\right)$
