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
