The fact that a solid is irregular has nothing to do with which unit you pick. It is the size of the object which determines this. If it is the size of a room you might use metres cubed, but if it would fit in your pocket then centimetres cubed will be more appropriate. It is the method of measuring the volume which is affected by the irregularity. You can't do it with measuring and geometry, so you have to use the displacement of water.

What do you use to find the volume of an irregular solid?
You put water in a bowl and measure how much water you have in the bowl. Then place the object in the bowl and see how much water you have now. Then subtract what you have now by the measurement you had before and that's the volume of the irregular object.
What is the best measuring tool to determine the volume of an irregular shaped object?
i dont know the instrument but i know experiment ..... take volumetric flask full with water insert subject below water level the displacement of level in volume is the volume of that subject.... By Archimedes principle
What is used to measure the volume of a solid with an irregular shape?
Unless you have experience with calculus, your best bet is to do water displacement: Put the object in a known amount of water and record the change and calculate the difference or liquid displacement
Can volume be measure in liter or cubic meter?
CUBIC liters and cubic meters will work, depending on if the substance is solid or liquid.
Which state of matter does conduction work the best?
Conduction works best with a solid.
How can you find the volume of an irregular solid like a rock?
The best way to find the volume of an irregular solid is to submerge it in a liquid and see how much the liquid rises. You can also use calculus and tripple integrals, but that gets really sticky.
What units are best for expressing the density of a solid?
Cm^3. THE 3 IS WRITTEN AS AN EXPONENT.
How do you find the volume of an irregular shape?
The best way to find the volume of an irregular shape is to split it up into shapes that you know, find the volumes of those individual pieces, and then add up all of the volumes of the split pieces to get your total volume of the irregular shape.
How do you measure the volume of?
If the object is irregular the best way is to measure the volume of water it displaces when you immerse it completely in water.
How do you measure the volume of object?
If the object is irregular the best way is to measure the volume of water it displaces when you immerse it completely in water.

What technique is best used to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
Which set of properties best describes a solid?
Definite shape and volume
How can you find the volume of an irregular shape?
Best options: 1. Break up the volume into familiar 3-d shapes. 2. Use integration by parts.
What tool do we use to measure volume of a solid?
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 type of object could you best measure using calculus?
Finding the volume of many odd shapes is only possible with integral calculus. Google " volume of revolution. "
