Final answer:

To construct a quadrilateral ABCD with given measurements, follow these steps: draw AB, construct an angle of 60 degrees at B, measure BC, draw CD, and finally draw AD.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a quadrilateral ABCD with AB = 3cm, BC = 4cm, CD = 3.5cm, DA = 4.2cm, and angle A measuring 60 degrees, we can use the following steps:

  1. Draw a line segment AB with length 3cm.
  2. At point B, construct an angle of 60 degrees.
  3. Measure 4cm along the line segment BA and mark point C.
  4. From point C, draw a line segment CD with length 3.5cm.
  5. Finally, draw a line segment AD with length 4.2cm to close the quadrilateral.
