5-polytopes may be classified based on properties like "convexity" and "symmetry".A 5-polytope is convex if its boundary (including its cells, faces and edges) does not intersect itself and the line segment joining any two points of the 5-polytope is contained in the 5-polytope or its interior; otherwise, it is non-convex.
Although trivial as a polytope, it appears as the edges of polygons and other higher dimensional polytopes. [5] It is used in the definition of uniform prisms like Schläfli symbol { }×{p}, or Coxeter diagram as a Cartesian product of a line segment and a regular polygon. [6]

There are no regular compounds in five or six dimensions. There are three known seven-dimensional compounds (16, 240, or 480 7-simplices), and six known eight-dimensional ones (16, 240, or 480 8-cubes or 8-orthoplexes).

The bifurcating graph of the D 5 family contains the 5-orthoplex, as well as a 5-demicube which is an alternated 5-cube. Each reflective uniform 5-polytope can be constructed in one or more reflective point group in 5 dimensions by a Wythoff construction , represented by rings around permutations of nodes in a Coxeter diagram .
In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 19 uniform polytopes with A 5 symmetry. There is one self-dual regular form, the 5-simplex with 6 vertices. Each can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in the Coxeter planes of the A 5 Coxeter group and other subgroups.
