Detailed Solution

XeOF4(Xenon oxytetrafluoride) have shapes similar to XeF5 (bipyramidal pentagonal).

Due to the two and three lone pairs that the oxygen and fluorine atoms have, respectively, the xenon-oxygen double bonds also have a repelling effect. In order to minimize repulsive interactions, 

Xe-F bonds are arranged in a plane, which is surrounded on two sides by oxygen atoms and lone pairs. The square pyramidal is the proper response.
