According to Glen Dash the azimuth between G2 and G1 is 43.30 degrees.

The Bent pyramid was meant to encode the altitude of the Sun and Mercury. To encode the altitude one must use the North side of the pyramid and look toward the South the Meridian.

Therefore I quote from Petrie book A season in Egypt 1887:

Quote

The actual angles of the lower part of the faces all round are N.N.W. SS° 55° 23', near W. 54° 59', N.N.E. 55° 2'

On the specific day(date) that is encoded, stationed at the Bent pyramid the apparent angular altitude of planet Mercury at upper culmination was 55° 19'. On the next day Mercury at upper culmination reached it maximum altitude which was 55° 24' and from there on the successive days its altitude decreased. On the previous day of the encoding the maximum altitude of Mercury was 55° 9'. From the angles measured by Petrie we can only take into account 55° 23' and 55° 2'. This because he did not measure a "near W."(North near W). The average of these is 55° 12'.

The upper slope of the pyramid is much less steep, but shows a similar convexity; at the N.N.W. it is 43° 2' high up, and 43° 19' lower; the N.N.E. is 43° 24', the W. 43° o', or perhaps 42° 39' higher up. The mean of all is 43° 5'.

Once again we are interested in the North side. We are also interested in the lower angle because this is where we observe the altitude of a celestial body. Thus we have two values:

43° 19' and 43° 24' the average of both is 43° 21' 30"

The azimuth between the center of Khufu's pyramid and Khafre's pyramid as measured by Dash is 43° 18'.

The complementary angle to the mean apparent altitude of Mercury as measured from the Seila pyramid, the Meidum pyramid, the Red pyramid, and the Bent pyramid is 43° 23'.

We finally have the non-physical geometric slope from the half base position on the North side and the apex. This encodes the apparent altitude of the Sun at upper culmination on this day.Therefore the slope is 48° 2'.

Petrie measured the base at 189.49162 meters. With this angle the height of the pyramid is 105.36 meters.
