The pattern repeats every 4 shapes: square, triangle, circle, oval.
To find the 50th shape, we can determine the position in the cycle by calculating \( 50 \mod 4 \):
\[
50 \div 4 = 12 \quad \text{remainder} \: 2
\]
Since the remainder is 2, the 50th shape corresponds to the 2nd shape in the repeating sequence.
The sequence is:
1. square
2. triangle
3. circle
4. oval
Therefore, the 50th shape is **triangle**.
