the pitch of the roof is 30

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for slope

The slope (pitch) formula is \(m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\).

Step2: Identify rise and run

Here, the rise is \(4\) ft and the run is \(12\) ft.

Step3: Calculate the slope

Substitute into the formula: \(m = \frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{3}\)
