A jet is traveling at 1850 mph. What is the measure of the vertex angle of the sound cone formed when it breaks the sound barrier?

I apologize, at that time I had literally no idea how to do it. But now I know the formula (sinx)/2 = 1/M. But the answer is 47.18 degrees, and plugging in the Mach number converted from the mph gives me a different answer. Maybe the answer key is wrong?
