Point D on Petrie's triangulation is the top block of pyramid 5 and has co-ordinates of 9,143,054 and 6,836,560

If we take the difference from Point Q which is the NE socket of Pyramid 1 and is 1,880,871 we get 9143054 - 1880871 = 7262183 / 196.75 = 36910.71 inches which equals 1790.215 cubits using 20.618 inches per cubit.

Now we know that from the North face of pyramid 1 to the south face of Pyramid 3 is approximately 1000 times the square root of 3 or about 1732.35. If we take that from 1790.215 we are left with the top of Pyramid 5 being only 57.865 cubits south of the south face of Pyramid 3 and this is obviously wrong so what am I doing wrong ?
