List of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes

A polytope is a geometric object with flat sides, which exists in any general number of dimensions. The following list of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes gives the names of various classes of polytopes and lists some specific examples.

Polytope elements

Polygon (2-polytope)

Vertex the ridge or (n−2)-face of the polygon
Edge the facet or (n−1)-face of the polygon

Polyhedron (3-polytope)

Vertex the peak or (n−3)-face of the polyhedron
Edge the ridge or (n−2)-face of the polyhedron
Face the facet or (n−1)-face of the polyhedron

Polychoron (4-polytope)

Vertex the (n−4)-face of the polychoron
Edge the peak or (n−3)-face of the polychoron
Face the ridge or (n−2)-face of the polychoron
Cell the facet or (n−1)-face of the polychoron

5-polytope

Vertex the (n−5)-face of the 5-polytope
Edge the (n−4)-face of the 5-polytope
Face the peak or (n−3)-face of the 5-polytope
Cell the ridge or (n−2)-face of the 5-polytope
Hypercell or Teron the facet or (n−1)-face of the 5-polytope
