To find the volume of a cube, just measure one edge, and then take the third power of that number (which is to say, it gets multiplied by itself 3 times, so for an edge that it 2" long, you would have 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic inches).

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you need a graduated cylinder. You immerse the object in water, and you observe how far the water level rises in the cylinder. If the object is soluble in water, you might use some other liquid such as cooking oil.

How do you measure a irregular shaped solid like a cube?

A cube is hardly an irregularly shaped object. Measuring it is the defining term of area and volume. A cube is defined as having twelve sides, all lengths uniform, all angles right angles. If the length of any side is 'a' then area = 6*a*a volume = a*a*a


How would you calculate the density if the object is cube?

The shape of an object is not enough to calculate its density. You also need its mass and then Density = Mass/Volume.


How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?

If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.

What is the volume of a cube 4cm x 4cm x 4cm?

The volume of a cube equals its side length cubed. In this case it is 4cm3 which gives a volume of 64cm3


How do you find the volume of a cube shaped object?

The answer depends on what information you do have about the object.


What is the unit used for measuring the volume of regular shaped solid object?

The unit for volume is the same, whether the shape is regular or irregular.


What do you use to measure the vlume of a solid?

The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.


How do you find the volume of a regular object cube?

Finding the volume of a regular object cube can be hard. This will be hard because there is no real formula for measuring irregular objects.


A shape holds 58cm cube what is its volume?

58 Cubic Centimetres (cc's) is a volume.


What is formula of volume measurement?

It depends on the shape. The formula for the volume of a sphere is quite different from that for the volume of a cube.
