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.

Does a rectangular prism have plane symmetry or symmetry about an axis?
I believe it has both. If you draw planes through the middle of opposite sides e.g. top/bottom, left side/right side, front/back, you will get three planes of (refection) symmetry. Also if you draw three lines through those same points, you will get three axes of (rotational) symmetry.
What is an irregular shape?
Irregular shapes have NO lines of symmetry and all the sides are not the same. A regular shape WILL have lines of symmetry and all the sides are the same. * * * * * Wrong! A kite, for example, is an irregular but it has reflective symmetry. A parallelogram is an irregular quadrilateral but has rotational symmetry.
What is axes of symmetry?
The line (or surface) across which things are (exactly) the same. Look in a mirror. Draw a line from your head to between your feet. You are considered symmetrical to your left/right ... but not up/down nor front/back. The question should have been written as "What are axes of symmetry?" because axes is plural and axis is singular.
How many planes of symmetry are there in cylinder?
There are infinite planes of symmetry in a cylinder in the same way that a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
What does a triangle with 3 lines of symmetry look like?
they are the same
How many lines of symmetry does a dot have?
Since a dot is the same thing as a circle it has an infinite number of lines of symetry, or a countless amount of lines of symmetry.
What are symmetry lines?
Lines which lie on the same plane and have the same length are known as symmetry lines
Do triangles and trapezoids have the same number of lines of symmetry?
yes it has the same number of lines of symmetry
Do all octogons have the same number of lines of symmetry?
All regular octagons have the same number of lines of symmetry, but octagons with unequal sides would have fewer lines of symmetry.
What relationship can you find between the the number of lines of symmetry?
The relationship is one of identity. The number of lines of symmetry for any object, are always identically equal to the number of lines of symmetry for that same object.The relationship is one of identity. The number of lines of symmetry for any object, are always identically equal to the number of lines of symmetry for that same object.The relationship is one of identity.

How many lines of rotation of symmetry does a square have?
Rotational symmetry refers to symmetry of the figure when it is rotated about a single point in the same plane. Lines of symmetry apply to reflections. You do not have lines of rotational symmetry.
Does a square or rectangle has more lines of symmetry?
They both have the same amount of lines of symmetry. * * * * * Not true. A square has four lines of symmetry, a rectangle only two.
Will the number of lines of symmetry for a polygon always be the same as the number of vertices?
No, a polygon can have fewer lines of symmetry.
How many axes of semmetry has an isosceles triangle?
The answer is one because two of the sides in an isosceles triangle are the same. If this is true, then only the line bisecting down in-between these two lines can be an axis of symmetry.
What are the four lines of symmetry?
There are 4 types of symmetry, reflection, transition, glide reflection, and rotation. They all basically mean the same thing, except they are figured out differently.
What prediction can be made about the number lines of symmetry in a polygon that has 6 sides of the same length?
It will have six lines of symmetry.
