Flat Trapezoid

[Anonymous]

Been looking for hours.  How do I make a simple flat trapezoid on a plane, NOT a box with one end a different size from the other (lots of video's for how to do this for some reason).  I have tried several different methods with no luck.

I tried making a rectangle, removing constraints and changing the dimension of 2 sides.  This seems like it would be the easiest and best way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, but that just skews the rectangle.  I could move one of the sides, but then it's just a guess if you have it centered or not.

I tried just drawing 4 lines, 2 the same length and 2 different lengths and connect them, but that does the exact same thing and just makes a skewed rectangle.

I have been using Fusion360 for a few months and it seems like every time I need to do something new, it takes hours to find the answer, and  yes, I have been watching plenty of tutorial videos, but cannot find one for this problem.  This part doesn't need to be answered, just venting as I'm really frustrated with it right now and the software is very unintuitive.

Thanks for any help.

There are at least 9 different types of trapezoids, but they all have two sides parallel:

I feel like I must be missing something in the problem description.

Can you hand sketch with pencil and paper your Design Intent and then Attach image here?

AH, beautiful.....change the 2 angles.  That makes sense, but it definitely was not something I thought of.  All of my thoughts were about how to change the length of 2 sides.

Thanks very much for your help!!
