The correct response is:

**Yes, reflection preserves the size of the figure.**

When a figure is reflected across an axis (such as the y-axis), the distances between points and the lengths of sides remain unchanged. Therefore, the side that was originally 8 units long will still be 8 units long in the reflected triangle.
