The Crystal Structure

INSTRUCTIONS:

The crystal structure of a hypothetical compound A2B (A is the cation and B, anion) can be simply visualized as an FCC lattice with all the tetrahedral sites occupied. If two ā€˜E’ anions are substituted into the original lattice, what is the distortion(oversize or undersize) and changes to the original formula?My answer would be A8B2D2. Is this correct? how do I calculate distortion?
