In how many ways can the letters of the word CARPET be arranged

In so many ways ;

And so on .

720

you would be using permutation i believe

because carpet has 6 letters you have six placement options

_x_x_x_x_x_

if you can only use the letters once

you can put all letters in p1

so 6x_x_x_x_x_

but because of that you would only be able to put all but one in p2 and one less than p2 in p3 going all the way to 1 in the last

so 6x5x4x3x2x1

i might be wrong but this has worked for me

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
