An acute triangle is a triangle that has all angles less than $90^{\circ}$ ($90^{\circ}$ is a Right Angle). Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with altitudes $AD$, $BE$, and $CF$ meeting at $H$.

Sebastian has a certain number of rectangles with areas that sum up to 3 and with side lengths all less than or equal to $1$. Demonstrate that with each of these rectangles it is possible to cover a square with side $1$ in such a way that the sides of the rectangles are parallel to the sides of the square. [b]Note:[/b] The rectangles can overlap and they can protrude over the sides of the square.
