Axes of symmetry of circle

Infinitely many. A circle is perfectly symmetrical in that any line drawn through the circle's center bisects it into two exactly equal parts.

As approximations to a circle, standard polygons (n-gons with all sides length L) or order 3 (triangles) and above have an increasing number of axes of symmetry. As the number of sides increases without bound (and thus as the length of each side shrinks towards 0), the number of symmetrical axes also increases without bound.

So from a certain twisted viewpoint, a circle can be looked at as a "special polygon" with an infinite number of sides which have no length. =)

An infinite number; a circle is symmetrical by way of any line that passes through its center.


Are axes and lines of symmetry the same thing?

No, although they can be lines of symmetry, they are not the same things. If a circle were to have its center at the point (1,1), the circle would have an infinite number of lines of symmetry, but none of them would be the x or y axis.


What are axis of symertery?

Axes of symmetry refer to imaginary lines that divide a shape or object into two identical halves, where each half is a mirror image of the other. In geometry, an object can have one or more axes of symmetry, depending on its shape. For example, a circle has an infinite number of axes of symmetry, while a square has four. Understanding axes of symmetry is important in various fields, including art, design, and mathematics.
