flow with M = 3 comes straight on in the x-direction towards the wedge. We know theta from our geometry of the wedge. From this we can calculate the normal component of our free stream Mach number. 

 

Latex
\LARGELarge
\begin{equation}\nonumber
M_{1N} = M_1sin(\beta)
\end{equation}
\\

...

Now we can relate the normal Mach numbers to each other through the normal shock relations

 

Latex
\LARGELarge
\begin{equation}\nonumber
M_{2N}^2 = M_{1N}^2(\frac{(\gamma -1)M_{1N}+2}{2\gamma M_{1N}-(\gamma -1)})
\end{equation}
\\
\\
\begin{equation}\nonumber
M_2 =\frac{M_{2N}}{sin(\beta-\theta)}
\end{equation}
\\
\\
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\frac{p2}{p1} = \frac{2\gamma M_{1N}^2 - (\gamma - 1)}{\gamma + 1}
\end{equation}
\\
\\
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{(2\gamma M_{1N}^2 - (\gamma - 1))((\gamma -1)M_{1N}^2 +2)}{(\gamma +1)^2 M_{1N}^2}
\end{equation}
\\
 

 

From the equations above it is quite easy to relate upstream quantities.
