You have to use an inverse sine (here sin-1, because the forum doesn't allow superscript), so you'll need a calculator.

OR:

You just measure the distance between the front and rear of the wheel and write that down. Should do the job just as well, with less effort. :P
Thanks for the equation. Now all I need is a scientific calculator!
