1. **State the problem:** Construct a parallelogram ABCD where side AB = 6 cm, side AD = 3 cm, and the angle at vertex A is 60 degrees.
2. **Recall properties and formulas:**
- A parallelogram has opposite sides equal and parallel.
- Adjacent sides AB and AD meet at angle A.
- To construct, we use the given lengths and angle.
3. **Step-by-step construction:**
- Draw segment AB = 6 cm.
- At point A, construct an angle of 60 degrees with AB.
- From A along this angle, measure and mark point D such that AD = 3 cm.
- Draw segment DC parallel and equal to AB (6 cm).
- Draw segment BC parallel and equal to AD (3 cm).
4. **Explanation:**
- By constructing angle A = 60 degrees and sides AB and AD with given lengths, we ensure the shape is a parallelogram.
- Opposite sides are equal and parallel by definition.
5. **Summary:**
- The parallelogram ABCD is constructed with AB = 6 cm, AD = 3 cm, and angle A = 60 degrees.
This completes the construction of the parallelogram ABCD as per the given conditions.
