The figure may be labelled as shown.
The simplest triangles are AFB, FEB, EBC, DEC, DFE and AFD i.e. 6 in number.
The triangles composed of two components each are AEB, FBC, DFC, ADE, DBE and ABD i.e. 6 in number.
The triangles composed of three components each are ADC and ABC i.e. 2 in number.
There is only one triangle i.e. DBC which is composed of four components.
Thus, there are 6 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 15 triangles in the figure.

The figure may be labelled as shown.
The simplest squares are ABGF, BCHG, CDIH, DEJI, FGLK, GHML, HINM, IJON, KLQP, LMRQ, MNSR, NOTS, PQVU, QRWV, RSXW and STYX i.e. 16 in number.
The squares composed of four components each are ACMK, BDNL, CEOM, FHRP, GISQ, HJTR, KMWU, LNXV and MOYW i.e. 9 in number.
The squares composed of nine components each are ADSP, BETQ, FIXU and GJYV i.e. 4 in number.
There is one square AEYU composed of sixteen components.
There are 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 squares in the given figure.
