How do I optimize the area of a 12 in wide piece of sheet metal folded into a trapezoid?

The length will vary.How do I optimize the area of a 12 in wide piece of sheet metal folded into a trapezoid?
easiest way, don't fold it, a rectangle is a trapezoid. it optimize the area, fold the shorter sides of the sheet over as little as possible, with corner angles clost to 90 degrees.
