Answer:

D).
4√(2)

Explanation:

STEP 1a: Find the last angle of the triangle. ( which is angle A)


A+90+45=180

STEP 1b: Solve the equation for A by adding 90 and 45.


A+135=180

STEP 1c: Then Move all terms not containing A to the right side of the equation by subtracting 135 from both sides of the equation


A=180-135

STEP 1d: Subtract 135 from 180.


A=45

STEP 2a: Find side b next.

STEP 2b: The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.


cos(A)=(adj)/(hyp)

STEP 2c: Substitute the name of each side into the definition of the cosine function.


cos(A)=(b)/(c)

STEP 2d: Set up the equation to solve for the adjacent side, in this case b.


b=c*cos(A)

STEP 2e: Substitute the values of each variable into the formula for cosine.


b=8*cos(45)

STEP 2f: Cancel the common factor of 2.


a=4√(2)

HOPE THIS HELPS!
