is there any way to determine the degrees of the trianle corners? for example, setting one of them to 30 degrees exactly.

This may depend a little bit on the use case, but I think the best (easy) way to do this would be by creating a couple of rectangular shape layers (with stroke but no fill, and the Size Y value set to 0). Use the rotation properties to set the exact angles you're after, and then adjust the Size X accordingly to make the ends line up. 

If you're looking for something more precise and contained within a single shape, it would involve expressions and math. Do you need that level of precision?

This seemed like a fun challenge, so I created a rig for this. 
The added controls are still a little messy right now, so I would recommend using the Essential Graphics Panel to control things. I haven't tested it a ton yet, so let me know if anything breaks!
