By water displacement. Pour a certain volume of water into a graduated cylinder, and record that volume. Now, place the irregularly shaped object into the cylinder, and record the level to which the water now rises. Take the difference between those two volumes, and you now have the volume of your irregularly shaped object.

Steps how to determined the volume of regular solid?
1. Measure the dimensions of the solid. 2. Calculate the volume on this geometric base.
Can Solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method?
Yes, solid volumes can always be determined by the displacement method, as long as the solid is denser than the fluid it is submerged in. The method involves measuring the volume of liquid displaced by the solid when it is fully submerged, which is equal to the volume of the solid.
What phase of of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
How is volume of a rectangular solid determined?
You need to measure the length, breadth and height and multiply them together.
How do you calculate the volume of an irregular object?
The volume of a solid object such as a rock or pebble can be determined by submerging it in a liquid in a graduated cylinder or other container. The difference in the volume of the liquid is the volume of the object.
What do you use to measure the vlume of a solid?
The method for determining the volume of a solid depends on its shape. The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder, sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape. Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the object.
Can you find the volume of a solid without a shape?
if i assume that by "without a shape" you mean having an irregular or difficult shape to use math equations to calculate then you could use water displacement for example, in a measured container filled with a specific pre-measured amount of water, noting the volume, add the solid and now you can subtract the old volume from the first to get the solid's volume
What is the volume for the three states of matter?
The volume of a solid is fixed and maintains a specific shape. The volume of a liquid is determined by its container but it takes the shape of the container. The volume of a gas is not fixed and expands to fill the available space.
What instrument would you use to find the volume of a irregular solid?
To find the volume of an irregular solid, you can use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. First, fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water and record this level. Then, gently submerge the irregular solid in the water; the rise in water level indicates the volume of the solid, which can be determined by subtracting the initial water level from the new water level. This method effectively measures the volume of the solid without needing its dimensions.
How is mass and volume determined in density?
Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume
Does the volume of a solid expand when its area expands?
If its due to temperature rise, essentially all the molocules move further apart from each other in whats known as volumetric expansion, so when its volume increases, so does its surface area.
Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
