I’m struggling to create an arc for a side panel like that attached picture.

Any tips?

I “might” draw the rectangle/ trapezoid. Extrude it. Select the surface and then choose “sketch”.

In sketch mode draw a circle for the radius and two tangent lines OR draw the two lines and use the arc tool to connect them. You could even use the oval tool if the circle arc tool is insufficient to your design.

Then select the drawn surface and extrude it negatively from the rectangle.

However It all can be done from the sketch in pretty much the same manner and extruded from there.
