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 do you make a triangle that has a primiter of 21 units and a area of 5 square units?
10, 10 and 1
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.
Can you draw a rectangle that has an area of 5 square units and a perimeter of 12 units?
Yes, you can. If you make it 1 unit by 5 units
Convert 7400 square meters in to running meters?
It doesn't make sense to convert that. You can only convert units of the same kind, e.g., units of length to units of length; units of area to units of area; units of time to units of time, etc.
Is there a way to make a square using 6 shapes?
Yes, it is possible to make a square using six shapes, depending on the shapes used. For example, you could use four right triangles and two squares, arranging them so that the triangles fill in the corners of a larger square formed by the two squares. Alternatively, other combinations of shapes, such as rectangles or irregular polygons, can also be arranged to create a square. The key is to ensure that the total area and configuration of the shapes collectively form a perfect square.
