Why do you need to use the water displacement method for some objects and not others?
Because some objects have an irregular shape, therefore cannot be measured like a square could.

How do you calculate area for irregular objects?
By integration, which basically means dividing the object into small pieces.
How can you determine the voulme of irreagular objects?
Break-up the irregular object into regular objects by dividing the area. Sum the volumes of these regions together.
Two-dimensional figures are typically measured by their?
Area. Very few 2-dimensional figures can be measured by length and width - rectangles (and stretching the terminology) triangles and parallelograms. Certainly not circles, stars, irregular polygons, other irregular shapes.
How can you measure the length of an irregular object?
Irregular objects can have their perimeters measured in a variety of different ways. Probably the easiest is to run a string along the edge of the object and then later lay the string flat and measure it. Another way is to measure in partial straight segments and approximate.
How is the volume of a irregular shape measured?
it is measured by using length times width times height
Which sink in wate regular or irregular?
irregular objects will sink due to uneven sides on the will not sink
What objects can be measured in millimetres?
your finger nail can be measured in millimeters
What objects can be measured by kilometers?
Bigger objects like celestial bodies ,Earth ,sun their radius are measured in kilometers .
How is area measured?
Area is usually not measured, but calculated. For several standard shapes (for example, rectangles, circles, etc.) there are standard formulae to calculate the area; for an arbitrary irregular shape, integration can be used. This basically means mentally cutting the shape into lots of small pieces.
What volume of rectangle objects?
A rectangle does not have volume because it is 2 dimensional but it does have area which is length times width measured in square units.
