Find a common point of measurement on each tire, and measure the width.
Now lay the 2x4 behind the tires and take the same measurement.
Subtract the rear measurement from the front and that will tell you if you are positive or negative, and a little bit of geometry will give you the actual angle.

. . . are you serious? I think I would advise leaving the protractor in your school supply bag and take it to the professionals with the $10,000 machine.  Close is good with horseshoes and hand granades but not alignments.
