Answer

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The angle $\theta$ can be determined from the following formula $\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{v}{v_s})$ where $v$ is the speed of sound which is $343\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_s$ is the speed of source(bullet) which is given as $685 \frac{m}{s}$ Now put the values $\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{343}{685})=30^{\circ}$ Thus the angle $\theta=30^{\circ}$
