 | | Jessica asked about ways to generalize a pentagon into n dimensions. |
 | | As you may know, in three dimensions there are five regular polyhedra, namely, the tetrahedron (3-sx), cube (3-cube), octahedron (3-cross-polytope, with f-vector (1, 6, 12, 8, 1)), dodecahedron (f-vector (1, 20, 30, 12, 1) and has pentagonal 2-faces), and icosahedron (f-vector (1, 12, 30, 20, 1) with triangular 2-faces). |
 | | We could consider a dodecahedron to be a generalization of a pentagon. |
