Given that,
The given word is "PARALLELOGRAM".
The total number of letters in the word is 13.
The letter A is repeated thrice.
The letter R is repeated twice.
The letter L is repeated thrice.
Thus, the number of ways the letters in the word are arranged is given by,

\begin{aligned} & \frac{13 !}{3 ! 2 ! 3 !}=\frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2}{3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 2} \\ & \frac{13 !}{3 ! 2 ! 3 !}=13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 2 \times 5 \\ & \frac{13 !}{3 ! 2 ! 3 !}=86486400 \end{aligned}

Therefore, the total number of ways the letters are arranged is 86486400 ways.
