The rule for a shape pattern is "square, triangle, circle, oval." What is the fiftieth shape? (1 point) Responses square square triangle triangle circle circle oval
To determine the fiftieth shape in the pattern "square, triangle, circle, oval," we can continue repeating the sequence until we reach the desired term.
The pattern consists of four unique shapes, so we can calculate the position of the fiftieth shape by dividing it by 4 and finding the remainder.
50 ÷ 4 = 12 remainder 2
This means that after going through the pattern sequence 12 times, we will have reached the 48th shape (12 × 4 = 48). The fiftieth shape will then be the same as the second shape in the pattern, which is a "square."
Therefore, the fiftieth shape is a "square."
