It's two different trivial things. For each, it's just the case which doesn't require doing anything special.

One is trivial proofs, which are where 100% is covered. This doesn't really leave much to prove in terms of whether or not more area can be covered by a different layout.

The other is trivial packings, the very simple type without any tilting or need of gaps between squares. Trivial packings are only sometimes optimal. Of optimal trivial packings, only some can be shown optimal with an aforementioned trivial proof.
