Dorner's slope of 10:7 gives the most elegant mathematics for the overall pyramid.

Lower part:

Base - 360 cubits
Slope - 10:7
Height (to bend) - 90 cubits

Upper part:

Base (bend line) - 235 5/7 cubits (1650 palms)
Slope - 14:15
Height - 110 cubits

Overall height - 200 cubits

If we extend the upper part down to the level of the base we get a pyramid with a base of 428 4/7 cubits (3000 palms).

The 10:7 slope does not conform to a regular (horizontal) seked, and there is no reason why the builders should have been confined to the regular seked.
