No, your statement before was that it required measurement of angles
and "triangulation" whereas the actual procedure does not measure any
angles at all and is closer to "trilateration" or determining the
distances to the satellites at known positions

It does indeed measure angles, rest assured. Of course, it does a lot
more than that.

Not sure what you mean by times being equal to sides (the units don't
match for one thing) ...

Then let's just leave it at that. This is not a sandbox, and I don't
have time to play.
