A roof that rises 4 inches for every 1 foot or 12 inches of run is said to have a 4 in 12 slope.
Roof slope 1 4 over 12 roof plan notes.

However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing.
Provide tapered insulation as required to maintain a 1 4.
Provide a minimum roof r value of r 24 or greater.

Distance between points 1 and 2.
For example if you measure 4 inches the pitch of your roof is 4 12.
48 1219mm taper insulation.
This will give you the rise over run or pitch.
