6-cube regular 6-cube or 6-orthoplex. 6-cube In geometry, a 6-cube is a six-dimensional hypercube with 64 vertices, 192 edges, 240 square faces, 160 cubic cells, 60 tesseract 4-faces, and 12 5-cube 5-faces. It has Schläfli symbol {4,3}, being composed of 3 5-cubes around each 4-face. It can be called a hexeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the "4-cube") with "hex" for six (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular dodeca-6-tope or dodecapeton, being a 6-dimensional polytope constructed from 12 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of a 6-cube can
Compound of 5-cube and 5-orthoplex different edges. Compound of 5-cube and 5-orthoplex In 5-dimensional geometry, the 5-cube 5-orthoplex compound is a polytope compound composed of a regular 5-cube and dual regular 5-orthoplex. A "compound polytope" is a figure that is composed of several polytopes sharing a common center. The outer vertices of a compound can be connected to form a convex polytope called the convex hull. The compound is a facetting of the convex hull. In 5-polytope compounds constructed as dual pairs, the hypercells and vertices swap positions and cells and edges swap positions. Because of this the number of hypercells and vertices are equal,
