It′s obviously false  l×w=1  w=(1/l); 0<l<1 ⇒ w>1  ⇒ l≠w ⇒ it′s not a square
Itsobviouslyfalsel×w=1w=1l;0<l<1w>1lwitsnotasquare

0<w≤l≤1 .  So  w≤1 and (1/w) =l≤1   hence  1≤w≤1 , ie  w=1 and l=1
0<wl1.Sow1and1w=l1hence1w1,iew=1andl=1

But now l=1 and you stated “l is less than  1” ⇔ l<1
Butnowl=1andyoustatedlislessthan1l<1
