A metric ruler would be the best bet. Simply measure the length, the width and the height of the box and multiple all three measurements together to find the volume of the box in the unit that you measured the boxes in, cubed.

What is the unit with which we can measure the volume of a solid?
The volume of a solid is measured in cubic units
How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
What pieces of lab equipment measure volume?
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
You can use what to compare and measure the volume of two solid boxes?
Use water and a cylinder marked with measurements. Use the amount of water displaced to compare the volume/ +++ You can indeed, but if the blocks are small enough to handle and of regular polyhedral form, it may be simpler just to use a rule to measure them directly.
What instrument measures the volume of an irregular object?
If you submerge the object in a volumetrically-labeled beaker, the volume of water displaced (how much the water rises when the object is submerged), is the volume of the object.Either a graduated cylinder or overflow can is used to measure the volume of an irregular solid by water displacement.
What tool do you use to measure the volume of a rectangular solid?
A ruler or tape measure.
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 measurement tool do you use to measure volume?
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
Can you use milliliters to measure a solid?
No,it's a measure of liquid volume
What is the unit with which we can measure the volume of a solid?
The volume of a solid is measured in cubic units
What measuring tool do you use to find the volume of an irregular solid?
A graduated cylinder.
What tool would you use to measure the water in an aquarium?
For the volume you can use a graduated container.
How will you measure volume of irregular solid?
use a ruler to measure the lenght of each side of the object
Which tool will you use to measure the height weight mass and volume of a cube?
No singe tool will do all four measurements.
What are you finding if you measure the space that a solid figure occupies?
You are finding the volume of the solid figure.To find the volume of a solid figure, depending on the size of the object, you can use a graduated cylinder. You can fill the cylinder up to x amount of water and then measure the amount after dropping the solid into the water, and then subtract the amount before, from the amount after, to get the volume of a solid. You can also use simple mathematics to figure the volume of the solid. There are different formulas for calculating volume for different types of solid figures.
How can you measure the volume of an irregularly shape solid?
Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
