The Chord of A Major is one of the fundamental chords to learn, if you picked 5 popular guitar songs at random you would probably that 2 or 3 would use the chord of A somewhere. The notes of the A Major chord are A C# and E so therefore if you strum all the strings, starting with the thickest E string, the notes you are playing are E A E A C# E in that order.
Since the notes E and A (i.e. the 3 strings which you don’t have your fingers on) are in the scale of A Major there are no worries about playing or plucking all of the strings.
