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

There are 5 degrees of rectifications of a 5-polytope, the zeroth here being the 5-cube, and the 4th 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.

Coordinates

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

$(0,\ \pm1,\ \pm1,\ \pm1,\ \pm1)$

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, identifying it as Cr₅² as a second rectification of a 5-dimensional cross polytope.

Alternate names

• Birectified pentacross/5-orthoplex/triacontiditeron
• Penteractitriacontiditeron (acronym: nit) (Jonathan Bowers)
• Rectified 5-demicube/demipenteract

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:

$\left(0,\ 0,\ \pm1,\ \pm1,\ \pm1\right)$
