The problem seems to be missing the specific amount of square inches of print intended for the page, making it impossible to solve accurately as stated. However, assuming the goal is to minimize paper use while maintaining a square print area plus margins, a smaller page dimension would generally use less paper. Without the specific print area, we can't calculate the exact dimensions, but among the options given, choosing the smallest dimensions that could feasibly accommodate a square print area plus margins would indeed minimize paper use. Thus, without the crucial detail of the print area size, the logic would suggest opting for the smallest dimensions provided, which is option E) 14,14, assuming a typo or omission in the question setup.
