Have fun!
To reduce the confusion, I will call them Tiles (if you put 4 or 8 or etc. Tiles together you can get larger squares)
The equation I came up with is:
(F + 1)2 - 1 = T
Where F is the Figure and T is the number of Tiles.
Figure 5 : F = 5 thus T = 35 Figure 15: F = 15 thus T = 255 When T = 960 then F = (T + 1)0.5 -1 = 30
Figure 1 - 3 squares Figure 2 - 8 squares Figure 3 - 15 square etc....
The problem is not really well defined. For example I see 11 squares in Figure 2, not just 8...
How do you get 11 squares in figure 2? Please ignore the numbers in pen written, is not part of the question.
