In geometry, a 10-simplex is a self-dual regular 10-polytope. It has 11 vertices, 55 edges, 165 triangle faces, 330 tetrahedral cells, 462 5-cell 4-faces, 462 5-simplex 5-faces, 330 6-simplex 6-faces, 165 7-simplex 7-faces, 55 8-simplex 8-faces, and 11 9-simplex 9-faces. Its dihedral angle is cos⁻¹(1/10), or approximately 84.26°.

It can also be called a hendecaxennon, or hendeca-10-tope, as an 11-facetted polytope in 10-dimensions. The name hendecaxennon is derived from hendeca for 11 facets in Greek and -xenn (variation of ennea for nine), having 9-dimensional facets, and -on.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of an origin-centered regular 10-simplex having edge length 2 are:

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},\sqrt{1/21},\sqrt{1/15},\sqrt{1/10},\sqrt{1/6},\sqrt{1/3},\pm 1)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},\sqrt{1/21},\sqrt{1/15},\sqrt{1/10},\sqrt{1/6},-2\sqrt{1/3},0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},\sqrt{1/21},\sqrt{1/15},\sqrt{1/10},-\sqrt{3/2},0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},\sqrt{1/21},\sqrt{1/15},-2\sqrt{2/5},0,0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},\sqrt{1/21},-\sqrt{5/3},0,0,0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,\sqrt{1/28},-\sqrt{12/7},0,0,0,0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},1/6,-\sqrt{7/4},0,0,0,0,0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},\sqrt{1/45},-4/3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)$

$(\sqrt{1/55},-3\sqrt{1/5},0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)$

$(-\sqrt{20/11},0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)$

More simply, the vertices of the 10-simplex can be positioned in 11-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1). This construction is based on facets of the 11-orthoplex.

Related polytopes

The 2-skeleton of the 10-simplex is topologically related to the 11-cell abstract regular polychoron which has the same 11 vertices, 55 edges, but only 1/3 the faces (55).
