If the areas are equal then the perimeters are also equal.

The area of a rhombus = length of base * altitude. To keep the area the same we would have to keep the same base and move the opposite side so its parallel to the base. But doing this will lengthen the other 2 sides of the figure so its no longer a rhombus.
