He uses the rise over run method to calculate the roof slope based on the geometry of a right triangle. Tools needed include a ladder, level, tape measure, pencil, and something to create a flat surface on the rooftop. At the end of the video, he also demonstrates how to measure slope using a smartphone app. Remember, always practice safe ladder usage and use the proper fall protection equipment for the job.
