How many shapes can you make from 5 squares?

Answer 1

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.
