The info in the post is not enough to get a unique answer.

There are INFINITELY MANY rhombuses with different areas satisfying the given condition.

The given condition only allows to determine their altitude, but does not allow to determine the side length.

Simply saying, the problem, as it is formulated, worded and posted, is DEFECTIVE.

But in opposite, if the figure is a SQUARE (instead of to be a rhombus), then the problem is SOLVABLE (!) (!!) (!!!)
