Place a four foot long level on the roof, parallel with the ground.
With one end touching the roof and the other end in the air, read the bubble
on the level. When the bubble says it is level, then have a second person
measure the distance from the end hanging in the air straight down to the
roof.
Divide the number by 4. (example: with level bubble showing "level";
your helper reads 24 inches on the tape measure--
you divide 24 by 4 = 6" Your roof pitch is 6 /12,
or 6 in 12."
Every 12 inches of level travel your roof goes up
6 inches.
A roof angle of 6 degrees = 1.26 / 12 rise or pitch.
Roof pitch is rise and run. So if you have a 4/12 pitch, for every foot of run the roof rises 4 inches.
If I remember right it should be between a 5 and 6 pitch. Between a 5/12 pitch and 6/12 pitch. If it was 27.5 degrees it would be a 6/12 pitch. Enter in "roof pitch" in the Google bar and several sites will come up where you can calculate pitch. The 12 means 12 inches. So that it would be aproximitely 6 inches rise to 12 inches of run. Hope this helps and I hope I remember my roof pitch angles. It has been a few years since I have done it.
In general, talking about roof pitch, I have never heard or read about this term being used. Roof pitch is measured when you start at the leading edge of a roof and measure towards the center of the house too 12 feet. Pitch is measured from a imaginary parallel level line at the 12 foot mark, how many feet high the roof is at 12 feet is the pitch of a roof. If your roof is at 4 feet high at the 12 foot mark then the phrase would be- a 4/12 pitch.
The angle, or pitch, of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally.
A roof angle of 6 degrees = 1.26 / 12 rise or pitch.
Roof pitch is rise and run. So if you have a 4/12 pitch, for every foot of run the roof rises 4 inches.

A single pitch roof is basically a flat roof with a pitch (or angle), usually to allow water to run off. This differs from a double pitch roof /\ that is what you commonly see.
Roof pitch is measured in "rise over run". In other words, how many inches does the roof rise vertically in 12" of horizontal run. If a roof rises 4" in 12" of run, you have a 4/12 roof pitch.

Pitch is a bitumen or it can mean the slope of the roof for example 1/8" per foot fall
