Explanation:

sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2

:.=sqrt((-3-8)^2+((17pi)/12-pi/4)^2)

:.=sqrt((-11)^2+((17pi-3pi)/12)^2

:.=sqrt(121+((17pi-3pi)/12)^2

:.=sqrt(121+((cancel14^7pi)/cancel12^6)^2

:.=sqrt(121+((7pi)/6)^2

:.=sqrt(121+(7pi)/6xx(7pi)/6

:.=sqrt(121+21.99114858/6xx21.99114858/6

:.=sqrt(121+483.6106157/36

:.=sqrt(121+13.433628

:.=sqrt(134.4336282

:.=11.595 units to the nearest 3 decimal places
