How do you make a trapezoid?

Ok, obviously a newbie question.I want to create a trapezoid and be able to specify things like the angle at the right and left bottom base, the bottom base and the leg lengths.Trying to be accurate - can't do it by hand/eye.Thanx!

Thanks, rkent. Very nice! While my post was mainly in response to JD's, I'm usually not particular who solves the problem.Your solution is pretty close to what I had.You can get there part way with Autoconstrain, but you still have to add the parametric dimensions manually, AFAICT.If you want to be able to rotate the trapezoid, then you can replace the horizontal constraints with parallel ones (top and base to each other).From other posts/threads, I suspect that Inventor is much more versatile and powerful.In any case, I like the dimensional constraints.Just type in a new value and the object stretches to match.Sounds like the perfect solution for the OP.
