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.
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.
What phase of of matter has its volume determined by its container?
A gas. Gas will expand to fill the available space.
How is mass and volume determined in density?
Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume
Definite shape and volume-?
Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Does solid have a definite volume?
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
What can you say about the volume of solid?
The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.
What is the difference between the methods of finding density of liquid than finding the density of solid?
A solid has air gaps. Density is mass per volume. Volume of the known mass of solid is determined by displacement of liquid in which the solid is insoluble. In case of liquid, the mass of known volume of liquid is determined.
What the volume and shape of solid?
It has a fixed shape and volume
Are volume and density determined by logic?
No, they are determined by measurement.
