De Moivre's Theorem - Roots Practice Problems Online

Let $z$ be a complex number such that $z = \sqrt{2}(\cos 7 ^{\circ} + i \sin 7 ^{\circ}).$ Then $z^{8}$ can be expressed as $r( \cos \alpha^{\circ} + i \sin \alpha^{\circ})$ , where $r$ is a real number and $0 \leq \alpha \leq 90$ . What is the value of $r+\alpha ?$
