Solution:

Let us solve this problem with the help of diagonals. We know, that the sides of square are parallel. Therefore, the diagonals should also be parallel. See the picture, the yellow diagonals are drawn for referencing.

See the image, you can easily spot the four triangles highlighted with red color.

Now, in this picture, you can spot 3 blue, 3 green and 2 red squares. You can find four more rectangles but they can't be square as their diagonals are not parallel with our yellow referenced diagonals.

Therefore, total number of squares = 4 + 8 = 12.

Solution:

45 minutes

Explanation :
All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too.

Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes.
