Honeycomb aligned. Thus, each cell has two vertically oriented walls, with the upper and lower parts of the cells composed of two angled walls. The open end of a cell is typically referred to as the top of the cell, while the opposite end is called the bottom. The cells slope slightly upwards, between 9 and 14°, towards the open ends. Two possible explanations exist as to why honeycomb is composed of hexagons, rather than any other shape. First, the hexagonal tiling creates a partition with equal-sized cells, while minimizing the total perimeter of the cells. Known in geometry as the
5-demicubic honeycomb for n≥5) and it Voronoi tessellation is a tritruncated 5-cubic honeycomb, , containing all with bitruncated 5-orthoplex, Voronoi cells. There are three uniform construction symmetries of this tessellation. Each symmetry can be represented by arrangements of different colors on the 32 5-demicube facets around each vertex. Regular and uniform honeycombs in 5-space: 5-demicubic honeycomb The 5-demicube honeycomb, or demipenteractic honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 5-space. It is constructed as an alternation of the regular 5-cube honeycomb. It is the first tessellation in the demihypercube honeycomb family which, with all the next ones, is not regular,
