Ingeometry, a 10-simplex is a self-dualregular10-polytope. It has 11vertices, 55edges, 165 trianglefaces, 330 tetrahedralcells, 4625-cell 4-faces, 4625-simplex 5-faces, 3306-simplex 6-faces, 1657-simplex 7-faces, 558-simplex 8-faces, and 119-simplex 9-faces. Itsdihedral angle is cos−1(1/10), or approximately 84.26°.
It can also be called ahendecaxennon, orhendeca-10-tope, as an 11-facetted polytope in 10-dimensions. Acronym:ux[1]
Thenamehendecaxennon is derived fromhendeca for 11facets inGreek and-xenn (variation of ennea for nine), having 9-dimensional facets, and-on.
TheCartesian coordinates of the vertices of an origin-centered regular 10-simplex having edge length 2 are:
More simply, the vertices of the10-simplex can be positioned in 11-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1). This construction is based onfacets of the11-orthoplex.

The2-skeleton of the 10-simplex is topologically related to the11-cellabstract regular polychoron which has the same 11 vertices, 55 edges, but only 1/3 the faces (55).
