if you were to draw all the lines a symmetry on a circle . how many lines would there be ?

An infinite number of lines, since the circle is symmetric across any line through the center.
Think of folding a circle, as long as you fold it across the middle, you are unbounded by the number of angles you can pick. You have an unlimited number of fold lines (a.k.a. diameters).

A circle has an infinate number of lines of symmetry. You can prove this by drawing the diameter, and no matter where on the circle you draw the diameter, the semicircles formed will always be reflections of each other.

Every diameter is a line of symmetry. There are an infinite number possible.

A circle has infinitely many axes of symmetry, because there are many different ways to fold it and have the edges all match.

Every diameter of the circle is an axis of symmetry. Conversely, every axis of symmetry of a circle is a diameter.

There will be an infinite amount.
Just think about it, it will come to you.
