A 1.5x square units1.5 x square units
B (1.5x)2 square units(1.5 x ) 2 square units
C 1.52x square units1.5 2 x square units
D 2(1.5 + x) square units....
Since we are dilating circle P by a scale factor of 1.5, the area of circle P' will be equal to the area of circle P multiplied by the square of the scale factor.
Therefore, the area of circle P' is (1.5 squared) times x square units, which simplifies to 2.25x square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 1.52x square units.
