Do you mean volume? If possible drop the item in a measured volume of water or other liquid and remeasure the volume, then subract the to numbers to get the volume of the item.

What to scientists use to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an irregularly shaped solid.
How can you calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
If the object in question is water proof, and small enough. You can measure the amount of displaced water when it is placed in a tank full of water, this may not work for a lot of things but it can help when attempting to measure some objects.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
How do you get the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Using a graduated beaker, add water sufficent to totally immerse the object. Note the initial volume of the water without the object. Put the irregularly-shaped object in the beaker and note the final volume. The difference between the final and initial readings is the volume of the object. This is only possible if the object is not soluble in water. If it is, use some other fluid in which it is not soluble.

How do you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object that floats?
You can push it under water / under the liquid's surface, and measure the displacement of liquid.
Is there a more systematic way of finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object?
Finding the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object can be done using the plumb line method.
How do you calculate the density of an irregularly shaped object which is less dense than water?
Force it below the surface of water and measure the force required.
The can that use to measure the volume of solid?
well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.
Can you use a balance to measure the volume irregularly shaped solid?
yes you can use a balance to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid.
What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
What is an instrument used to measure volume of liquids and irregularly shaped objects?
graduated cylinder
What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
What is formula for calculating an object's density?
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
A rocky object that has an irregularly shaped body made of planetary material and orbits the Sun is a?
Asteroid
