If you mean that the side is 150% as big, then
1.5^2 = 2.25
so, the area increased by a factor of 225%
But, if you really mean it increased by 150%, that is, it is now 2.5 times as big, then the area is now 6.25 times as big, so it increased by 525%
1.5^2 = 2.25
so, the area increased by a factor of 225%
