The Schwartzchild radius.
If it had a radius, then it wouldn't be a singularity. The event-horizon surrounding a black hole has a radius, which depends on the black hole's mass. But the singularity itself has no radius.
The event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole is about 295 kilometers in radius. It represents the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Assuming you mean the event horizon of a black hole (there are other types as well), the diameter of a black hole as measured by its event horizon is directly proportional to its mass. The larger the mass, the larger the diameter. Thus, as a black hole's mass increases, it will get bigger. The only limitation is how much mass a black hole is able to incorporate from its surroundings.
Simply divide the mass of the black hole by the volume contained within the event horizon. This is fairly simple for a typical black hole, since the event horizon will approximate a sphere whose radius is the collapsed object's Schwarzschild radius.
The distance from a simple black hole's center to the event horizon where escape velocity equals the speed of light is called the Schwarzschild radius, named after the mathematician who solved the relevant field equation from Einstein's theory of General Relativity. The distance can be calculated for a known mass using twice the product of the gravitational constant and the mass, divided by the square of the speed of light.
No planet has an event horizon. A black hole has an event horizon; it is the radius within which light cannot escape.
If it had a radius, then it wouldn't be a singularity. The event-horizon surrounding a black hole has a radius, which depends on the black hole's mass. But the singularity itself has no radius.
The radial distance of the event horizon increases as more mass falls into a black hole. According to the Schwarzschild radius formula, the radius of the event horizon is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole, so as more mass accumulates, the event horizon expands outward.

The event horizon of a black hole is the point of no return where nothing, not even light, can escape its gravitational pull. The Schwarzschild radius is the distance from the center of a black hole to its event horizon. In simpler terms, the event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing can escape, while the Schwarzschild radius is the specific distance from the center where this boundary lies.

The general tendency is for black holes to grow. If any matter falls into a black hole, its mass will increase, and therefore its Schwarzschild radius (the radius of its event horizon) will increase as well.The general tendency is for black holes to grow.

The event horizon of a black hole is directly related to its mass. For a 100 solar mass black hole, the event horizon radius would be about 295 kilometers (183 miles). This is the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the black hole's gravitational pull.
The "boundary" you're probably thinking of is called the event horizon. Past this point, the escape velocity of the black hole exceeds the speed of light, meaning nothing, including light, can escape it.
