To find the volume of a cube, just measure one edge, and then take the third power of that number (which is to say, it gets multiplied by itself 3 times, so for an edge that it 2" long, you would have 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic inches).
To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you need a graduated cylinder. You immerse the object in water, and you observe how far the water level rises in the cylinder. If the object is soluble in water, you might use some other liquid such as cooking oil.

What is the basic unit of volume for regular shaped objects?
cube
How do you measure a irregular shaped solid like a cube?
A cube is hardly an irregularly shaped object. Measuring it is the defining term of area and volume. A cube is defined as having twelve sides, all lengths uniform, all angles right angles. If the length of any side is 'a' then area = 6*a*a volume = a*a*a
What are some examples of cube shaped objects?
phone
What objects are shaped like a square?
a cube, postit notes
What is the formula for volume for a square?
Volume is in 3D objects, so you should say volume for a cube. Area is for 2D objects, that is area for square. Volume for cube = side * side * side Area of square = side * side
How do you find the volume of a cube shaped object?
The answer depends on what information you do have about the object.
When a cube is broken into irregularly shaped pieces the density of one of the pieces would?
equal the density of any other piece, assuming that the original cube was made of the same uniform substance.
What is the height of a cube shaped box if its volume is 27 cubic centimeters?
3 centimeters
How you calculate the volume of a cube shaped object?
The length times the width times the height.
How do you find the density of a regular shaped solid like a cube?
Density = Mass/Volume
What is perimeter volume of cube?
Perimeter is not normally a concept associated with 3-dimensional objects. The volume of a cube, with sides of x units is x3 cubic units.
How do you find the volume of a regular object cube?
Finding the volume of a regular object cube can be hard. This will be hard because there is no real formula for measuring irregular objects.
How can you find the volume of a cube and of an irregularly shape object?
To find the volume of a cube, just measure one edge, and then take the third power of that number (which is to say, it gets multiplied by itself 3 times, so for an edge that it 2" long, you would have 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cubic inches). To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you need a graduated cylinder. You immerse the object in water, and you observe how far the water level rises in the cylinder. If the object is soluble in water, you might use some other liquid such as cooking oil.
What do you use to measure the volume of something?
For geometrically shaped objects, (sphere, cube, tetrahedron, etc.) simple mathematics can be used. for odd shapes, (a rock for example) the volume can be measured by how much water the shape displaces out of a full bucket of water.
Area is to square as what is to cube?
volume is to a cube volume is to a cube
What happens to the volume of a cube if the length of one side decreases by one-half?
If it remains cube shaped (ie all sides decrease by one half) then the volume of the cube is reduced to one-eighth of its original volume. (1/2)3 = 1/8
What are some things shaped like a cube?
A rubick's cube, an icecube, dice, baby block, some boxes, 2x2 Lego pieces
What is the volume of 16 of a cube?
It is 16*(Volume of the Cube).
What is 4.5 volume of a cube?
It is 4.5*(Volume of Cube).
Is it possible for two objects to have the same volume and different densities?
Absolutely ! A 1 metre cube of steel, and a 1 metre cube of wood both have the same volume - but are obviously different densities.
A sphere of radius r is inscribed in a cube what is the volume enclosed between the cube and sphere?
volume of the cube - volume of the sphere = volume enclosed between the cube and sphere
What are the procedures for measuring volume?
It can be very simple, as is the case with regular box-shaped or cube-shaped objects, or it can be very complicated if you have to account for curved surfaces or very irregular shapes. The basic idea, though, for simple and 'regular' objects, is that you have to multiply measurements along 3 dimensions: length, width, and height. Follow the link for more specifics.
What objects that are not flat?
Objects that are not flat are any 3-Dimensional objects. A 3-Dimensional object has volume, where as a 2-Dimensional object does not. Examples of 3-Dimensional objects are sphere, cube, and cylinder.
What piece of scientific equipment is used to measure the volume of a cube regular shaped?
The answer depends on the size of the cube: it could be a micrometre, vernier callipers, a ruler, a tape measure.
What is the volume of a cube of 5cm?
The volume of a cube of 5cm is: 125 cm3
