Please Help!!

Which tool should I Use in order to Make Correct ANGLES for my Parallel Shape? In X7

I tried to rotate the lines with the "Angle of Rotation" on the Property bar, and also tried the "Angular Dimension Tool" on the toolbar. But each shows me different dimensions...

How should I build this parallel shape?

can someone tell me step by step, please? I've never done a shape with angular degrees dimensions... 

Thank you.

    If the desired shape is a parallelogram, and the top/bottom lines are horizontal, then here is one way (of many ways) to create a line segment to use for the sides:

    1. Draw a horizontal line segment 5.5 cm long.

    2. Rotate it clockwise by whatever angle you want between the bottom and the right hand side. If you want the 148.4° shown in your sketch, that would mean entering -148.4° on the Property Bar.
