A rhombus has four equal sides, so each side of the rhombus is 96/4 or 24.
The other diagonal would split the 32-diagonal in half.
The resulting right triangle has a hypotenuse of 24 and a side of 16. The other side would be 8sqrt5, so that diagonal is 16sqrt5.
The 32-diagonal is the shortest diagonal, so the circle would have radius 16.
