We prove the following theorem: Let \(\psi\) : \(M^ n\to E^{n+1}\) be a connected and oriented complete hypersurface, and 0 a point with respect to which the support function of \(\phi (M^ n)\) is identically 1. Then, either \(\phi (M^ n)=E^ n\) at a distance 1 from 0, or \(\phi (M^ n)=S^ n\) centered at 0, or \(\phi (M^ n)=E^ k\times S^{n-k}\) for some \(1\leq k\leq n-1\) where \(S^{n-k}\) is a sphere centered at 0. This result is not valid locally.
