Liliana decides to crop a square photo 2 inches on each side to fit it into a frame. The area of the original photo was 121 square inches. In the equation (x + 2)2 = 121, x represents the side measure of the cropped photo.

The original square photo has side length √121 = 11 inches. Since it is cropped by 2 inches on each side, the equation gives x + 2 = 11, so x = 9 inches. The cropped photo is 9 inches by 9 inches, which is choice B.
