Put it in a container of water. The amount of water it displaces (or the amount the water level rises) is exactly equal to the volume. Behold: you're Archimedes.
answ2. For awkward materials such as pumice and sugar cubes, a suitable fluid is a fine granular material such as flour or Lycopodium powder.
you cut it into regular solids then figure out those then add them together
The volumes of small irregular solids are usually easily measured by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when they are immersed in a liquid. For example: You would have to put the object in a measuring glass with water in it. (~1/3 filled) Put the object in it and then get the number from the measuring glass (beaker etc. mostly beaker) and that is how you measure a irregular solid!
Determine its mass using a balance and determine its volume using water displacement. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density. Refer to the related link below for more detail.
Regular object have equla sides and irregular dont
The displacement method is used to determine volume. However, if you know the density, the displacement test can give volume, which is used to work out mass by the formula m = dV
you can be determine irregular solid by its shapes and if it is not measurable by the ruler .
Water displacement is used to find the volume of irregular solids as discovered by Archimedes
SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m3). The solids whose volume can be calculated by measuring length, width, height, diameter etc. are called regular solids.
The volume of the object.
To measure what quantity of irregular solids? If its volume you are referring then you can use the volume displacement method where you need a measuring cylinder, water and possibly a displacement can.Measure a known quantity of water. Then immerse the irregular solid in this cylinder. The rise in the water level equals the volume of the irregular solid. Note that if the irregular object floats, a sinker must be used to fully immerse the irregular solid, where the volume of the sinker should be known.Hope this helps- if you need more information email me @ physicsisland@hotmail.com

measure the volume of liquid that the object displaces
Solids have a strict shape and volume. Solids do not flow and they are usually cannot be easily compressed.
You can measure the volume of irregular solids by using water displacment which is meausured in mililiters (mL), and that, in turn, can be converted to cubic centimeters (cm3)
The unit used to measure irregular volume is cubic centimeters (cm3). However, liters may be used - 1 cm3 is equal to 1 milliliter.

Solids have fixed shapes and volumes.Liquids have more or less a fixed volume (but may be moderately compressible). They take on the shape of their container.Gasses take on the shape and volume of the container.So your answer would be Liquid.
