Height times depth times width equals the volume of a cuboid. For an irregular shape break it into smaller pieces that you can use the above formula with then add them together. It could be that you can't get the precise volume but you can get close. You may need to use formulas for spheres, pyramids etc. For curved areas think of a doughnut and calculate the portion of a circle it represents times the height and depth.
Alternatively, and if the irregular object is waterproof, you could try submerging it in a container FULL of water and measuring the volume of water displaced and collected in an outer tray.

How do you measure the volume of a sugar cube with a measuring cylinder?
Due to the sugar cube being soluble, you should use a solution which does not allow sugar to dissolve e.g. kerosene. Just follow the usual way to measure solids with a measuring cylinder and you will have the volume of the sugar cube
What unit measure use to find the volume of a soap box?
I suggest you use liters.
What instrument measures the volume of a rectangular box?
There is not an instrument designed to measure the volume of a rectangular box. You would use a ruler or tape measure or similar to measure its linear dimensions and a brain to multiply them together.
What tool can you use to measure the volume of a cube?
Yarn , because that can rap around the cube OR you could use stringy ruler type thing

What is the formula that you use if the height only is the givenFind the volume of the largest box?
You didn't give enough information. By box do you mean cube or any rectangular prism?
How do you find the length of a edge of a cube?
-- If you don't know anything about the cube, then you just have to measure it. -- If you're told something about the cube, like for example its volume, or the area of a face, or the total area of all its faces, then you can use the formulas you know that express the relationship between the volume or area of a cube and the length of its edges.
Which is the name for a cube used to measure volume?
That depends on which aspect of the cube you are measuring and the size of the cube.. If you are measuring the dimensions, you might use meters. If you are measuring the surface area, you might use square meters. If you are measuring the volume, you might use cubic meters.
What would you use to measure the volume of a solid?
Volume is a measure of how much space an object takes up. In some cases, such as a cube, it's easy to use a ruler to measure all the sides and multiply. If such an option is not readily available, there are other alternative ways of collecting the volume. For instance, to see how much space an object takes up, you could measure how much water it displaces.
How do you measure the volume of a box of cookies?
The volume of a box of cookies (or any other box, for that matter) can be found by multiplying the length, width and height of the box together. To discover the volume of a box, measure each dimension, and be sure to use the same units for each measurement. With the three dimensions in hand, grab your calculator or a pencil and paper and multiply length x width x height and find your answer in cubic units (whatever you chose to measure in).
