Answer:

The legnth of side AB would be 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would determine that both point A and point B would have the same y-coordinate of 1. Then you would determine the difference between the x values of points A and B. Since 5 (the x-value for B) minus 2 (the x-value for A) is 3, the legnth of side AB would be 3 units.
