  • $\begingroup$ Are you sure those hexagons in the third row shouldn't be heptagons? And should that triangle be there? $\endgroup$

answer:

square

explanation:

Numbers are the sum of the angles in each shape

multiply the first digit by itself, then calculate the sum of the remaining digits. The sum now should be equal to the product.

3 5 4          : 3*3 = 9   [ 5 + 4 ]               = 9

4 6 6 4        : 4*4 = 16  [ 6 + 6 + 4 ]           = 16

5 6 6 6 4 3    : 5*5 = 25  [ 6 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 3 ]   = 25

6 8 8 8 8      : 6*6 = 36  [ 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + (4) ] = 36

hexagon octagon octagon octagon octagon [square]
