The answer here is that you are using an absolute
angle value to obtain the answer, therefor you have
only one answer.   (But you still cannot tell if 
the triangle is standing up/lying down or at some
other angle.)

I have a different point of view. My POV is that the
pulsars are sufficiently far away to be considered
'fixed' points 'outside' the currently known or likely
to be traveled space (or even misjump space, another
100 LY or so.).   For the purpose of the game
everything is stationary in space, and therefor
measurable to a much greater detail than in the real
world.
