#16# inches

Explanation:

By definition, a rhombus is a quadrilateral whose four sides are equal (a square is a special case of a rhombus in which the internal angles are also all equal)

Therefore, denoting the length of one of the sides by #x#, it is possible to write

#4x = 64# inches

Dividing through by #x#

#x = 64/4 = 16# inches
