<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area that moss cover when Paul returns is:

              125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The initial area that is measured by Paul about moss growth in a local forest is:  11 square centimeters.

We know that the increase in the area covered by moss is increasing exponentially.

Since each month it is increasing by a fixed constant 1.5 times as it was the previous month.

Hence, the function which represents the area covered by moss in x months is:

     A(x)=11\times (1.5)^x

We are asked to find the value of function when x=6

i.e.

A(x)=11\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\\\\\\A(x)=125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

            Hence, the answer is:

            125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}
