B5 polytope

Orthographic projections in the B₅ Coxeter plane

5-cube

5-orthoplex

5-demicube

In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 31 uniform polytopes with B₅ symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 5-orthoplex, and 5-cube with 10 and 32 vertices respectively. The 5-demicube is added as an alternation of the 5-cube.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B₅ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 32 polytopes can be made in the B₅, B₄, B₃, B₂, A₃, Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry, and B_k has [2k] symmetry.

These 32 polytopes are each shown in these 5 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
