In geometry, the 600-cell is the convex regular 4-polytope (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol {3,3,5}.It is also known as the C600, hexacosichoron, hexacosihedroid and hypericosahedron.It is also called a tetraplex (abbreviated from "tetrahedral complex") and a polytetrahedron, being bounded by tetrahedral cells.
The 600-cell's boundary is composed of 600 tetrahedral cells with 20 meeting at each vertex.Together they form 1200 triangular faces, 720 edges, and 120 vertices.It is the 4-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron, since it has five tetrahedra meeting at every edge, just as the icosahedron has five triangles meeting at every vertex.Its dual polytope is the 120-cell.
