In the image, there are 12 squares each with an area of 1. How many rectangles in the image have the same area as the shaded trapezoid?

By looking horizontally, the first three small squares in each row can form a rectangle with an area of 3, and the last three small squares can also form a rectangle with an area of 3. Therefore, each row has 2 rectangles with an area of 3.

Horizontally, there are a total of: $3 \times 2 = 6$ (rectangles)
$$
4+6=10 \text { (rectangles) }
$$

Answer: There are 10 rectangles in the image with the same area as the shaded trapezoid.
Hence, the answer is: 10.
