Hint
Look at the number of sides of each of the shapes.
Answer
Square.
Reasoning
Square the first shape's sides, and the remaining shapes add up to this number.
triangle (3 x 3) = pentagon (5) + square (4)
square (4 x 4) = hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + square (4)
pentagon (5 x 5) = hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + square (4) + triangle (3)
Therefore:
hexagon (6 x 6) = octagon (8) + octagon (8) + octagon (8) + octagon (8) + square (4)
