Video Summary

The problem involves finding the length of side AB of a rectangle ABCD, which consists of four equal smaller rectangles. Given that side BC measures one centimeter, it implies the shorter sides of the smaller rectangles are parallel to BC. Since the dimensions of the smaller rectangles are one centimeter by one-half centimeter, the combined length of side AB is calculated by adding one-half cm, one cm, and another one-half cm. Therefore, the length of AB is two centimeters. The solution is C, two centimeters.
