It is easiest to measure the length, breadth and height and multiply them together.
Volume = Length * Width * Height
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.
For the volume of such a rectangular object, simply multiply length x width x height. In this case, the units for the volume will be in cubic centimeters.
No volume is how much space an object takes up. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
If the object is irregular the best way is to measure the volume of water it displaces when you immerse it completely in water.
-- measure the length, width, and height of the object -- multiply the three numbers together -- the answer is the volume of the object
Measure length times width times hei ghth
That task can be accomplished with a ruler, a tape measure, or a measuring cup.
One way to measure the volume of an irregular object is to use a graduated cylinder. Fill the cylinder about half-way with water, and measure the volume. Then, place the object in the cylinder and measure the new volume. Subtract the first from the second to find the change in volume of the water. This change in volume is the voume of the object. Unfortunately, this method will not work for all objects as some are to large to fit in a graduated cylinder and some will dissolve in water, but it is very usefull in most situations.
It all depends upon the shape of the object. For example, the volume of a rectangular prism is lengthxwidthxheight. For an irregular shaped object, one strategy is to immerse the object into a measured amount of water, then measure what is the total volume of water plus object, and subtract the original volume of water.
A ruler or tape measure.
Volume = Length * Width * Height.
Volume = Length * Width * Height
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.
It depends on the way the question is asked. If you are dealing with a cubic or rectangular object, you measure the length, width, and height, and multiply them. If it is a spherical or irregularly shaped object, you could used water displacement to find its volume. If it's a liquid, you could use a graduated cylinder to measure its volume.
It is called its volume.
For the volume of such a rectangular object, simply multiply length x width x height. In this case, the units for the volume will be in cubic centimeters.
