In geometry of 4 dimensions, a 5-5 duoprism or pentagonal duoprism is a polygonal duoprism, a 4-polytope resulting from the Cartesian product of two pentagons.

It has 25 vertices, 50 edges, 35 faces (25 squares, and 10 pentagons), in 10 pentagonal prism cells. It has Coxeter diagram CDel node 1.pngCDel 5.pngCDel node.pngCDel 2.pngCDel node 1.pngCDel 5.pngCDel node.png, and symmetry [[5,2,5]], order 200.

Seen in a skew 2D orthogonal projection, 20 of the vertices are in two decagonal rings, while 5 project into the center. The 5-5 duoprism here has an identical 2D projective appearance to the 3D rhombic triacontahedron. In this projection, the square faces project into wide and narrow rhombi seen in penrose tiling.

The dual of a 5-5 duoprism is called a 5-5 duopyramid or pentagonal duopyramid. It has 25 tetragonal disphenoid cells, 50 triangular faces, 35 edges, and 10 vertices.

It can be seen in orthogonal projection as a regular 10-gon circle of vertices, divided into two pentagons, seen with colored vertices and edges:

The regular complex polygon 2{4}5 has 10 vertices in with a real representation in matching the same vertex arrangement of the 5-5 duopyramid. It has 25 2-edges corresponding to the connecting edges of the 5-5 duopyramid, while the 10 edges connecting the two pentagons are not included. The vertices and edges makes a complete bipartite graph with each vertex from one pentagon is connected to every vertex on the other.[2]
