The volume of a ruler can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. For example, a standard wooden ruler typically measures 30 cm long, 2.5 cm wide, and 0.5 cm thick. Using these dimensions, the volume would be 30 cm x 2.5 cm x 0.5 cm, which equals 37.5 cubic centimeters. However, the exact volume will vary depending on the ruler's specific dimensions and material.
A ruler has length and therefore measures lengths not volumes.
The formula for the ruler method of volume is volume = length x width x height, where you measure the dimensions of the object using a ruler and multiply the three measurements together to calculate the volume.
A metric ruler measure a legth not a volume.

A ruler is used to measure length and does not account for the height or width of an object, which are necessary to calculate its volume. To find the volume of a paperclip, you need to measure its dimensions in three dimensions using a tool such as a caliper or by using a water displacement method.
The ruler method for volume involves measuring the dimensions of a regular-shaped object, such as a box or a rectangular prism, using a ruler. You calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and height of the object (Volume = length × width × height). For irregular objects, the method can also refer to measuring the amount of water displaced when the object is submerged in a graduated cylinder, which gives the volume of the object. This method is useful for both geometric calculations and practical applications.
A ruler or tape measure would be the best tool. You cannot measure the volume directly. First, measure the length, width and height with the ruler and use the formula of volume of cubiod (L x W x H)
When the object is a regular, geometric shape.
