On blue prints architects engineers usually display the pitch of a roof in the format shown on the image where number 4 represents a rise and number 12 represents a length.
Roof pitch 35 degrees.
You have to pay higher cost for steeper pitch.
Look at the column labeled pitch then look under degrees to get the corresponding amount of degrees.
Let s find the pitch for a roof angle of 35.

How to convert roof pitch to degrees.
The roof pitch calculator is a convenient online tool you can use to quickly assess the pitch of your roof to determine the length of rafters you need.
First convert the pitch to a slope.
This means if a roof rises 4 in the length of 12 your roof pitch would be 4 12 or 18 43 degrees.
