Infinitely many all different:

As it is only the area that matters, the perimeter can be any shape:

  • An equilateral triangle (with sides approx 3.398 units)
  • A square (with sides approx 2.236 units)
  • A regular pentagon (with sides approx 1.705 units)
  • A regular hexagon (with sides approx 1.387 units)
  • A regular heptagon
  • A regular octagon
  • A regular nonagon
  • A regular decagon
  • A regular hendecagon (11 sided polygon)
  • A regular dodecagon (12 sided polygon)
  • A regular triskaidecagon (13 sided polygon)
  • A regular 14 sided polygon
  • A regular 15 sided polygon
  • A regular 16 sided polygon
  • ...
  • A circle (with radius approx 1.262 units)

And there are also the non-regular shapes, eg an L shaped hexagon, a kite, a parallelogram which can have an area of 5 square units.

How many shapes can you make with an area of 10 square units?

Infinitely many. You can have a circle with a radius of approx 1.78 units. Or, for any positive value of x, an ellipse whose axes are x units and pi/(10*x) units in length, a triangle whose base is x units and whose vertical height is 20/x units, a parallelogram whose base is x units and whose vertical height is 10/x units. And then there are polygons of 5, 6, sides and so on. You can also combine a triangle with an area of 4 units with a semicircle with an area of 6 units and other weird and wonderful shapes.
