Extrude only some sides at an angle

This question is using a simplified model so it shouldn’t need any screen shots or f3d files. I’m trying to extrude a rectangular sketch (say 100 x 75mm) to 50 mm at an angle of 5degs. No problem doing that BUT I only want 3 sides extruded at an angle, I need the 4th side to stay at 90degs. Right now the only way that I see to do this is by adding a sketch on my unwanted 4th side angle and cutting the angle off. Or I can use a Distance and Angle Chamfer of  4.37 @ 85degs on the 3 sides I need at the 5 deg angle. I’m thinking that there must be a simpler method to accomplish extruding a sketch with only some sides at an angle, not all sides. I have searched the forum and Google but wasn’t able to find any help. Sorry if this question has already been answered or if it just exposes how little I know about Fusion 360 ( I’m 86y/o so I’m really happy I know anything about Fusion 360). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Larry N.

How about using Draft after the extrusion and only select 3 sides to apply the draft to? In my screen capture I used 10 degrees on the angle just to show up better.  I am also expanding the base to be larger but you can reverse it if needed.   I am afraid there is no way to do an extrusion only using 3 sides of a rectangle because that would mean the profile is not closed.

Worked like a charm. Now can you tell me how to remember it, I'm happy when I remember where I live. Thanks a bunch, I figured there was a simple way. I marked as closed
