Rectified 120-cell

In geometry, a rectified 120-cell is a uniform 4-polytope formed as the rectification of the regular 120-cell.

E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as tC120.

There are four rectifications of the 120-cell, including the zeroth, the 120-cell itself. The birectified 120-cell is more easily seen as a rectified 600-cell, and the trirectified 120-cell is the same as the dual 600-cell.

Rectified 120-cell

In geometry, the rectified 120-cell or rectified hecatonicosachoron is a convex uniform 4-polytope composed of 600 regular tetrahedra and 120 icosidodecahedra cells. Its vertex figure is a triangular prism, with three icosidodecahedra and two tetrahedra meeting at each vertex.

Alternative names:

  • Rectified hecatonicosichoron / rectified dodecacontachoron / rectified polydodecahedron
  • Icosidodecahedral hexacosihecatonicosachoron
  • Rahi (Jonathan Bowers: for rectified hecatonicosachoron)
