High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A regular polytope is a geometric figure with a high degree of symmetry. Examples in two dimensions include the square, the regular pentagon and hexagon, and so on. In three dimensions the regular polytopes include the cube, the dodecahedron, and all other Platonic solids. other platonic solids include: the terahedron, the octahedron, the icosahedron, and the 5th dimensional hendecatope. There exist examples in higher dimensions also. Circles and spheres, although highly symmetric, are not considered polytopes because they do not have flat faces. The strong symmetry of the regular polytopes gives them an aesthetic quality that interests both non-mathematicians and mathematicians.
