A fighter jet is flying, horizontally at a certain altitude with a speed of 200 `ms^(-1)`. When it passes directly overhead an anti-aircraft gun, a bullet is fired from the gun, at an angle `theta` with the horizontal, to hit the jet. If the bullet speed is 400 m/s, the value of `theta` will be _______.
