For irregular shaped areas, the conventional method would be to plot the figure on a graph paper and measure the area with that.
You can also use modern electronic equipment like a GPS system for the area of a larger piece of land. You could also plot the area on a piece of paper and obtain the area using a mechanical or digital planimeter. just startwith Athat is area that is the inside of a shap the = bxh then you calculate your base and height then continue on .......by reece Stanley grade 3

∙ 12y agoTo find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.

you fill a graduated cylinder with enought water to cover the object then you tilt the cylinder and gently place the object in and see how much it goes up by that your volume

What is the shape of large magellanic cloud galaxy?
It is an irregular galaxy.
What can you determine from an irregular shaped object by its displacement?
The volume of the object.
How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped piece of maple ( about 10 grams)?
Weigh the piece of maple (you've indicated it is about 10 grams) Completely submerge it in a liquid and measure the volume of liquid displaced Density = mass/(volume displaced) or about 10g/(volume displaced)
Why can't you use a ruler to measure the volume of an irregular object?
because the shape has no correct sides.
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.
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.
How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
What is the name of the process used to measure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
There are several methods of measuring an irregular shape's volume.Filling it with a known volume of a substance until full.Summing up the Mathematical calculation of sections.
How do you find the perimeter and area of a irregular figure?
Divide the irregular figure into manageable pieces and work out their individual areas, sum the areas to that of the original figure. Measure the perimeter.
Why would you measure volume by immersion?
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
How do you measure an irregular shaped object?
Use the water displacement method. The object is equal to the amount of water it displaces. :)
What is the difference between an irregular-shaped object and a regular- shaped object?
I am not positive but i think that a regular shaped object can be measured and an irregular can not Hope this helps :D
Method used to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object?
method usede to figure the volume of an irregular shaped object
Is a octagon regular or irregular?
Octagons can be irregular or regular. It depends on the measure of the angles and the length of a side. An octagon is a shape with 8 sides, not necessarily the regular octagon that stop signs are shaped like.
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced 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.
