If its a simple shape you can take measurements with a ruler, calipers or tape measure and calculate it.
For simple as well as more complex shapes, if you know the material it is made from, you can work out the volume by taking the mass of the object and dividing by the density of the material, since; density = mass/volume
If you don't know the density, then you can work out the volume by submerging the object in water, and measuring the volume of water that is displaced.
The science tool used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects is called a graduated cylinder or a displacement vessel. By submerging the object in water, the volume of water displaced by the object can be measured, which corresponds to the object's volume. This method is based on Archimedes' principle and is effective for objects that do not have a regular shape.

No singe tool will do all four measurements.
If you want to measure it's volume, place it in a measuring cylinder containing a certain amount of water, and measure the extra units to get the volume of the object

To find the volume of a solid you can't simply calculate, get a large tub of water in which you can completely immerse the solid. Fill the tub with water to the edge, then submerge the solid. Any water that spills over has been replaced by the solid and signifies the amount of space the solid is now taking up. Weigh the water or put it in 1l bottles. 1kg of water is 1l and a liter is a cubic decimeter. From there you can calculate the volume in any unit you want.
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?
Ruler
To measure the volume of an irregular solid, one commonly uses the water displacement method. This involves submerging the solid in a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup filled with water and observing the change in water level. The volume of the irregular solid is equal to the volume of water displaced. This method is effective as it allows for accurate measurement without the need for complex calculations.
A graduated cylinder is a tool commonly used to measure volume in science. It is a tall, narrow container with volume markings along its side that allow for precise measurements of liquids.
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.
