As they both are the diagonals of a same rectangle, they would be equal.
8x + 3 = 4x + 7
8x - 4x = 7 - 3
4x = 4
x = 4/4
x = 1
So, 1st diagonal = 8(1)+3 = 11
2nd diagonal = 4(1)+7 = 11
In short, Your Answer would be 11 feet

You can use the fact that both of the diagonals of a rectangle are of same length.
The length of each diagonal is 11 feet
What is a diagonal?
In a quadrilateral(a closed figure made by 4 straight line segments joined end to end), if we join the unconnected vertices(the intersection of line segments), then two new lines come in middle. These two lines are called diagonals.
What is the property of diagonals of a rectangle?
The length of both the diagonals of a rectangle are same.
How to find the length of the diagonal for given case?
Since both the diagonals are of same length, we have:
[tex]8x + 3 = 4x + 7\\\\\text{Subtracting 4x on both sides}\\\\8x - 4x + 3 = 4x - 4x + 7\\4x + 3 =7\\\\\text{Subtracting 3 on both side and then dividing by 4 on both sides}\\4x + 3 = 7 - 3\\4x = 4\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4} = \dfrac{4}{4}\\\\x = 1[/tex]
Thus, the length of diagonals are:
[tex]8x + 3 = 8 \times 1 + 3 = 11\\4x + 7 = 4 \times 1 + 7 = 11[/tex]
Thus, both diagonals are of 11 feet.
