  2. Tesseract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

    Since each vertex of a tesseract is adjacent to four edges, the vertex figure of the tesseract is a regular tetrahedron. The dual polytope of the tesseract is the 16-cell with Schläfli symbol {3,3,4}, with which it can be combined to form the compound of tesseract and 16-cell. Each edge of a regular tesseract is of the same length.

  3. Four-vertex theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-vertex_theorem

    The four-vertex theorem was first proved for convex curves (i.e. curves with strictly positive curvature) in 1909 by Syamadas Mukhopadhyaya. [8] His proof utilizes the fact that a point on the curve is an extremum of the curvature function if and only if the osculating circle at that point has fourth-order contact with the curve; in general the osculating circle has only third-order contact ...

    The law of cosines for a tetrahedron, which relates the areas of the faces of the tetrahedron to the dihedral angles about a vertex, is given by the following relation: [31] = + + (⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡) Interior point

  5. Hypercube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube

    In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.

  6. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    The cube's vertex-first projection has three tetragons surrounding a vertex, but the tesseract's vertex-first projection has four hexahedral volumes surrounding a vertex. Just as the nearest corner of the cube is the one lying at the center of the image, so the nearest vertex of the tesseract lies not on the boundary of the projected volume ...

  7. 600-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/600-cell

    The 8-vertex 16-cell has 4 long diameters inclined at 90° = ⁠ 𝜋 / 2 ⁠ to each other, often taken as the 4 orthogonal axes or basis of the coordinate system. The 24-vertex 24-cell has 12 long diameters inclined at 60° = ⁠ 𝜋 / 3 ⁠ to each other: 3 disjoint sets of 4 orthogonal axes, each set comprising the diameters of one of 3 ...

  8. 24-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-cell

    Net. In four-dimensional geometry, the 24-cell is the convex regular 4-polytope [1] (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It is also called C 24, or the icositetrachoron, [2] octaplex (short for "octahedral complex"), icosatetrahedroid, [3] octacube, hyper-diamond or polyoctahedron, being constructed of octahedral cells.

  9. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    The additional vertex must lie on the line perpendicular to the barycenter of the standard simplex, so it has the form (α/n, ..., α/n) for some real number α. Since the squared distance between two basis vectors is 2, in order for the additional vertex to form a regular n -simplex, the squared distance between it and any of the basis vectors ...
