\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

As we know, all sides of a Rhombus are equal to each other ~ so we can conclude that :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:4x - 16 = 2x + 6


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:4x - 2x = 6 + 16


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2x = 22


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x = 22 / 2


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x = 11

Now, plug in the value of x in any equation to get the side length of rhombus ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2x + 6


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:2(11) + 6


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:22 + 6


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:28 \: \: units

Side PS = Side QR = 28 units
