Yes, your math works... ;-) *However*, the "real" monolith
was "immoveable, fused to the bedrock on which it rested"
(or words to that effect; it's been awhile), and was perfectly smooth.
The not-necessarily-the-*absolute*-smallest-possible monolith
that I suggested would have the benefits of being reasonably
well-connected to the baseplate beneath it, as well as being
as close to perfectly smooth as could be determined by any
party of minifig astronauts investigating the site.
On the other hand, I concede that your suggestion might be closer
in scale to the "appropriate" size (compared to the minifig astronauts
alluded to earlier). ;-)
