how to put a bend in a flat sheet metal piece

I need to create a 136 degree bend on the line shown and I am at a loss 🤷♀️ I made the part by creating a flat dimensioned sketch and a construction line where the bend should be. I extruded the sketch to 3/16in (the thickness of the sheet metal being used and added a steel material to the part. When I go to the bend tool it recognizes the construction line for where I need the bend put does not register the part as a sheet metal face to bend. I've googled everything and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to create this so that it works in the sheet metal model mode.

Extrude 1, use aSheet metal modelfeature and select yourSketch 1Then use the
