(B) The formula for the area of an equilateral triangle is $\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (\text{side})^2$.
Given that the side of the triangle is $8 \text{ cm}$,we substitute this value into the formula:
$\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (8)^2$
$\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 64$
$\text{Area} = 16 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}^2$.
Since the calculated area $16 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}^2$ is not equal to the given area $20 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}^2$,the statement is False.
