To calculate the collar size:
\[ C = N + \left( \frac{S}{2} \right) \]
Where:
Collar size refers to the measurement around the base of the neck, where the collar of a shirt would naturally sit. This measurement is crucial for ensuring a comfortable fit, especially for dress shirts and formal wear. A properly measured collar size ensures that the shirt fits well around the neck without being too tight or too loose. The collar size is typically measured in inches or centimeters and is an essential aspect of tailoring and clothing design.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the formula:
\[ C = 16 + \left( \frac{32}{2} \right) \]
Step 2: Calculate:
\[ C = 16 + 16 = 32 \text{ inches} \]
The collar size is 32 inches.
