To find the appropriate length board for the back wall of the shelter, we need to convert 3.25 feet into inches, as the options provided are in inches.

1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so:

3.25 feet × 12 inches/foot = 39 inches

Therefore, Mia should use a 39 inch board for the length of the shelter.
