Summary: It is shown that the Lie algebra of Noether symmetries for the Lagrangian minimizing an \((n - 1)\)-area enclosing a constant \(n\)-volume in a Euclidean space is \(\mathrm{so}(n)\oplus_s\mathbb R^n\) and in a space of constant curvature the Lie algebra is \(\mathrm{so}(n)\). Furthermore, if the space has one section of constant curvature of dimension \(n_1\), another of \(n_2\), and so on to \(n_k\) and one of zero curvature of dimension \(m\), with \(n \geq \sum^k_{j=1} n_j + m\) (as some of the sections may have no symmetry), then the Lie algebra of Noether symmetries is \(\oplus^k_{j=1}\mathrm{so}(n_j + 1) \oplus(\mathrm{so}(m)\oplus_s\mathbb R^m)\).
