There is no doubt that every line through the centre forms a line of symmetry of a circle.
If a given plane simple closed curve has lines of symmetry in all directions, is it necessarily a circle?

. We're sorry about the hassle.
Let's place the centre of the shape at O ( 0 , 0 ) and let a point on the edge of the shape be at A ( 1 , 0 ) . Since the shape must be the same on reflection from any angle, we can take point A and reflect it around every possible line through the centre. The curve created by all these points will be the shape we are looking for. An example of one possible reflection is shown below:
Notice that since △ A O M is a reflection of △ B O M , O A = O B = 1 , and so the locus of the point B is simply one where it keeps a distance of 1 unit from the origin, which is the definition of a circle.
