Radius on a guitar usually refers to the slight curvature of the surface of some fretboards, the arc of which is part of an imaginary circle. The radius of that circle is 12 to 17 inches for most steel-string acoustic Guitars, smaller and hence more curved for some electrics. The only practical way to measure it is with a special gauge. If you had a diagram of it, you could calculate it with Pythagoreus' theorem. A straight line connecting the two sides of the fingerboard is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with two equal legs that are also radii.

How do you calculate the radius of a circle?

Radius of a circle is half the diameter. For any given circle draw a straight line from one point on the circulference, through the circle centre, to the opposite point on the circu,afenrece. Then taking a rule measure the straight line distance. That is the diameter(d) Half of this distance, that from the circle dentre to the circumference is the radius(r). r + r = d or 2r = d or r = d/2 From this straight line we can calculate both the area (A)and the circuference(C) by using the following eq'ns/ C = 2pir = pi*d A = pi *r^(2) 'pi' is a constant for all circles. and the number 3.14 or 3.1416 or 22/7 are used in these APPROXIMATIONS.

If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50 then the area will be increased by?

there is no constant that will calculate this, since circumference is calculated with only radius and area with radius squared. you will have to calculate the radius using the initial circumference and then the radius again for the new circumference (with the 50 added). then calculate an area for each radius..then you can see the increase.
