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. =)
