you are confusing the size of the SGA (System Global Area) which is 40M with 
the size of the shared pool, which you set to 10M

The shared pool is contained within the SGA, but is NOT the only component 
of the SGA. Also, depending on the version of Oracle you are running there 
may be default values associated with structures like the java pool which 
will add to the size of the SGA.
