You can make 12 different shapes (counting flips) with 5 squares set orthogonally (not diagonally). These are called pentominos.
9 shapes
With no repetition of shapes (symmetry) we have obtained 26 different combinations.
Pentominoes are 12 shapes made up of 5 squares !If you rotate or move them they do NOT count as a different pentominoe!
5 squares. One 2 by 2 square and four 1 by 1 squares.
The answer depends on the 5 shapes. Unfortunately, you have not specified what they are and so the question cannot be answered. - which

Using 5 squares, you can create various shapes, including polygons and more complex figures. The specific number of unique shapes depends on how the squares are arranged, whether overlapping is allowed, and if rotations or reflections are considered distinct. Generally, when considering these factors, there are dozens of possible configurations. However, if focusing solely on simple arrangements without overlaps, the number of distinct shapes is more limited.

You could make 5 rectangles with 10 squares
A pentagon (a shape with 5 sides). Just stack the shapes ontop of eachother.
Q: How many letters of alphabet can you make using 5 squares?
It depends on the 5 shapes. If they are all identical squares (with sides of length s), then simply lay them side by side and you will get a (s by 5s) rectangle.
Make 5 shapes using Tangrams.
