Answers:    put a level butted to the roof {anywhere the pitch is at}..carve 12"..or 1' on the level..hold the stratum..level...weigh up down ...if it is 5"..you have a 5/12..if its 7" down til the cassette measure touches..its a 7/12 pitch.....characterization..the roof *drops* 7" in a 12" span..appropriate luck..make sure that you video measure is square {at a true right angle} to the smooth..easier then it sounds

Are you trying to find the pitch on an existing roof? If so you can use a protractor skipper with a spirit smooth in it. If you are trying to total it on a drawing then you can add using trigonometry. Tile manufacturers will usually insist on the minimum pitch to use
