Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Using the formula for exponential growth,

[tex]y=a(1+r)^x[/tex]

r is given s 1.5 times means the growth rate is 50% growth means r = 0.5

[tex]y=11(1+0.5)^6[/tex]

[tex]y=11*1.5^6[/tex]

[tex]y=11*11.390625[/tex]

[tex]y=125.296875[/tex]

[tex]y=125.30[/tex]

So, the area moss will cover is 125.30 square cm   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
