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.
