Making the plane infinite makes the problem easier, since you don’t need to worry about the boundary of any finite section of the plane. For example, if you choose a triangular section, you won’t be able to tile that section by squares. But it is still clear the infinite plane can be tiled by squares; just keep laying the squares edge-to-edge.
