semi perimeter = (8+8+8)/2 = 12 cm
By Heron' Formula
area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]
=√[12×4×4×4]
=16√3 cm²
As we know that, area = (1/2)×base×altitude
⇒16√3 = (1/2)×8×altitude
⇒altitude = 4√3 cm

Here is your answer -
Side of equilateral triangle = 8 Cm
Altitude makes Right angle on D and It Divides BC into Two Equal parts .
So ,
BD = 4 Cm
DC = 4 Cm
Now by Pythagores Theorm
In A right angle Triangle if Two from hypotenuse , Base , Perpendicular is given then we can find the one Which is not given
Applying Pythagoras Rule in Triangle ABD
(AD )^2 = (AB)^2 - (BD)^2
Let AD = x
