2×(8/2)×(√3)=8(√3) cm

$$\mathrm{2}×\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{2}}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{8}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\mathrm{cm} \\ $$

OC=(√(8^2 −4^2 ))=(√(48))=4(√3)  distance between two opposite faces=2OC=8(√3)

$$\mathrm{OC}=\sqrt{\mathrm{8}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\sqrt{\mathrm{48}}=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{distance}\:\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{opposite}\:\mathrm{faces}=\mathrm{2OC}=\mathrm{8}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\: \\ $$
