Answer

$\Delta t = \frac{D~sin~\theta}{v}$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for $d$: $\frac{d}{D} = sin~\theta$ $d = D~sin~\theta$ We can find the time it takes for the sound to travel a distance $d$: $t = \frac{d}{v}$ $t = \frac{D~sin~\theta}{v}$ Therefore, $\Delta t = \frac{D~sin~\theta}{v}$
