we need to draw one for a class?

It's a polygon with 50 sides... just keep drawing sides and when you get to 49, connect back to the beginning.
If it had asked for a *regular* 50-gon, you would need to make all the sides the same length and all the angles equal. The easiest way to do that would be to take a circle, place 50 dots evenly along the circumference, then connect them to make a *regular* 50-gon.
But for your case, any 50-sided figure will work.
Incidentally, a 50-sided polygon can also be called a "pentacontagon". Impress your teacher with that! Although mathematicians usually stop with names after about 12 and just call them n-gons, like 35-gon, 47-gon, 50-gon, etc.
