By integration - you divide the figure into many thin slices, and calculate the volume of each slice individually. The volume of each slice, again, can be calculated by integration: divide it into thin rectangles, and calculate the area of each rectangle.
If you have a irregular solid figure just immerse it in water and measure the displacement. a la Archimedes
you cut it into regular solids then figure out those then add them together
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.

The best way to find the volume of an irregular solid is to submerge it in a liquid and see how much the liquid rises. You can also use calculus and tripple integrals, but that gets really sticky.

when its a irregular shape you divide it up
When you need to find volume of an irregular solid or a liquid.

Water Displacement technique
Liquid displacement
You divide the shape into parts or pour a liquid into it
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
