How to put a curve in a piece of rectangular sheet metal?

I have a rectangular piece of sheet metal and all I want to do is make the sheet curved with a radius of 113.75 in.

How do I go about this?

 

Is there an easier way like making a 3d sketch and putting a sheet metal face on it?

 

I'm a beginner and any help is greatly appreciated!

Sketch the curve instead.

Then use the Contoured Flange tool.

 

Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.  (you left out some dimension information)
