B5 polytope
 5-cube

 5-orthoplex

 5-demicube

In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 31 uniform polytopes with B5 symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 5-orthoplex, and 5-cube with 10 and 32 vertices respectively. The 5-demicube is added as an alternation of the 5-cube.
They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B5 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.
Graphs[edit]
Symmetric orthographic projections of these 32 polytopes can be made in the B5, B4, B3, B2, A3, Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry, and Bk has [2k] symmetry.
These 32 polytopes are each shown in these 5 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
