Abstract. We investigate hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Two main results are obtained, one concerns the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a graph defined by a radially symmetric function on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and the other gives a sufficient and necessary condition for a hypersurfaces to be hypersurfaces of revolution.
