A rhombus has four equal sides. If the perimeter of this rhombus is 164, then the length of one side is 164/4, or 41.
Draw this rhombus. Label all four sides with "41." Label the longer diagonal 80 and the half length of that diagonal 40. You will see inside the rhombus four congruent triangles with hypotenuse 41, leg 10 and unknown height. Thus, this unknown height is found by solving x^2 + 40^2 = 41^2, and x^2=9, so that the length of the shorter diagonal is 2(2) = 18 (answer).
Keep in mind that we're framing it based on what the first sentence says, which is "If the cost of a competing factor of production, such as a machine that also could do the job, rises".
So if the cost of getting a machine part, various parts, or the entire machine cost rises, then demand for the machine will go down. This will make employers seek out substitutes. In this case, those substitutes would be human labor. As employers demand for labor goes up, the wages will rise assuming the supply of workers is held constant. If the supply of workers increased, then you could argue the wages could go down. So that's why I'm assuming the supply is held in check.
