Answer

$G$

Work Step by Step

We have a special right triangle in which the two remaining angles are $45^{\circ}$. In a $45^{\circ}-45^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ triangle, the hypotenuse is $\sqrt 2$ times each leg. Let's write an equation to solve for $y$, the length of the hypotenuse: $y = \sqrt 2(8)$ Let's rewrite $y$ in a more conventional form: $y = 8\sqrt 2$ The answer is option $G$.
