If it is a simple regular prism or a sphere, then calculation from its dimensions should suffice. If it is a more complex shape, then total immersion in a fluid, together with measuring the increased apparent volume of the fluid will do the trick. Just because it's regular doesn't mean the formula for the volume is easy to remember.
For a rectangular prism, : length x width x height equals volume, which is simple enough.
However, the volume of a dodecahedron with side length a is 1/4 * (15 + 7*sqrt(5))a3 and rather than trying to memorize that (I had to look it up) it may be simpler to go get the water tub.

How are centimeters and milliliters related?
Centimeters cubed (cm^3) and milliliters (mL) are related because both are used to measure volume. Cm^3 are used to measure the volume of regular solids, and mL are used to find the volume of non-regular objects.
Are cubic centimeters used to measure the length of solids?
no,cubic centimeters are not used to measure the length of solids. They are use to measure volume of solids
What does cm3 stand for and is it used to measure solids or liquids?
The unit cm3 stands for cubic centimeters. Cubic centimeters is a unit of measure for reporting the volume of regular and irregular solid objects. When reporting the volume of a liquid, milliliters (mL) is the proper unit.
What is the title of the thirteenth volume of Euclid?
Regular solids
How to find out volume?
If it is a regular solid, meaning all of the sides of the 3 dimensional figure are flat, then you measure and multiply length, width, and height.However, most objects are not regular solids
What do you use to measure the volume of liquids and solids?
idnk
Are there 3 things you can measure in liters?
you can mesure a drink, or a regular shallow pool
How can you measure the volume of irregular solids if you do not have a graduated cylinder?
measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces
What do you use to measure solids?
To measure the volume of a regular shaped solid object use l x w x h or water displacement. The mass can be found using a Triple Beam Balance.
How do you get the volume of a regular solid?
There are different formulae for different solids such as spheres or polyhedra.
Research about the units of mesurement of irregular solids?
SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3). The solids whose volume can be calculated by measuring length, width, height, diameter etc. are called regular solids.
How do you measure volume of regular solid?
The volume of regular solid can be measured by multiplying the length, is width and its distance.
