In five-dimensional geometry, a truncated 5-cube is a convex uniform 5-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 5-cube.

There are four unique truncations of the 5-cube. Vertices of the truncated 5-cube are located as pairs on the edge of the 5-cube. Vertices of the bitruncated 5-cube are located on the square faces of the 5-cube. The third and fourth truncations are more easily constructed as second and first truncations of the 5-orthoplex.

Construction and coordinates

The truncated 5-cube may be constructed by truncating the vertices of the 5-cube at $1/({\sqrt {2}}+2)$ of the edge length. A regular 5-cell is formed at each truncated vertex.

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

\left(\pm 1,\ \pm (1+{\sqrt {2}}),\ \pm (1+{\sqrt {2}}),\ \pm (1+{\sqrt {2}}),\ \pm (1+{\sqrt {2}})\right)

Images

The truncated 5-cube is constructed by a truncation applied to the 5-cube. All edges are shortened, and two new vertices are added on each original edge.

Construction and coordinates

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

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

\left(0,\ \pm 1,\ \pm 2,\ \pm 2,\ \pm 2\right)
