In order to use the units given to us in the problem, press the Project button in the top left corner and select Units > SIU.S. Engineering. Click on the Z-axis on the compass in the bottom left corner of the screen to look at only the XY-plane. Right click in the empty white space and choose “Select Select New Sketch Plane” Plane, then click on the grid that appears, so that the plane we are sketching on will be on the XY-plane. Choose the rectangle drawing tool in the Sketch subgroup of the Design Tab tab. Select the origin and , then drag up and to the right until it the rectangle is the correct size, or dimension the square using enter the dimensions directly into the highlighted box, boxes as pictured below, that appears as you are making the rectangle. The height should be 5 inches while the length is 10 inches.

 

After the rectangle has been drawn, make a circle at the origin make a circle with a radius of 0.25 inches.

Using the Trim Away tool in the Sketch subgroup of the Design tab, remove the outside of the circle and the ends of the box to look like the picture below.

Extrude Rotate the model slightly out of the XY-plane, then extrude the face using the pull Pull tool in the edit Edit section of the toolbar. The problem specifies that the thickness of the plate must be 0.2 inches.
