A unit square is removed from the corner of an
grid, where
. Prove that the remainder can be covered by copies of the figures of
or
unit squares depicted in the drawing below.
![[asy]
import geometry;
draw((-1.5,0)--(-3.5,0)--(-3.5,2)--(-2.5,2)--(-2.5,1)--(-1.5,1)--cycle);
draw((-3.5,1)--(-2.5,1)--(-2.5,0));
draw((0.5,0)--(0.5,3)--(1.5,3)--(1.5,1)--(3.5,1)--(3.5,0)--cycle);
draw((1.5,0)--(1.5,1));
draw((2.5,0)--(2.5,1));
draw((0.5,1)--(1.5,1));
draw((0.5,2)--(1.5,2));
[/asy]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/7/8/578baca60367441fe9b771689f1a2e91c0ccf984.png)
Note: Every square must be covered once and figures must not go over the bounds of the grid.
