How do you do volume of a irregular shape that is two dimensional?

If a shape is two dimensional it has NO volume - volume is an attribute of THREE dimensional shapes.
If you meant the AREA of an irregular two dimensional shape, then divided it up into areas which are not irregular and so you can calculates them, and sum the areas of these non-irregular shapes.
If you meant the volume of an irregular THREE dimensional shape, then a similar process can be followed by dividing it up into three dimensional shapes you can can calculate the volume of and summing them, though if it is an irregular object that you are physically holding, then you can find its volume by finding the increase in volume of a liquid (In a regular container) when the object is submerged into that liquid.

How is the volume of a rectangle measured?
Simple. The volume of a rectangle is 0. A rectangle is a two dimensional shape and therefore cannot have a volume.
What is the definition of an irregular volume?
An irregular volume is one that has no simple equation to describe it's shape. An example would be a cylinder with a cone on it's end. The shape can often be divided into two or more regular shapes which have known equations that describe them. In this case, a cylinder and a cone. To then find the total volume of the irregular shape, you sum the volumes of the individual regular shape volumes.
What is the formula to get the volume of a triangle?
There is none because a triangle is a 2D shape and volume measures 3D shapes ----------------------------------------------------------------- There is not one. Triangles are two dimensional, volume is three dimensional, a triangle can therefore have an area but not a volume.
What is an irregular three dimensional shape?
a triangle * * * * * Wrong on at least two counts: A triangle need not be irregular and a triangle is not a three dimensional shape. Any pyramid other than a regular triangular pyramid (tetrahedron), any prism other than a cube are some examples.
What is the formula for finding the volume of a rectangle?
Rectangles, being two-dimensional objects, do not have volume. Rectangular prisms, on the other hand, do. The equation for their volume is length*width*height, or lwh.
What is a irregular two dimensional shape?
i love sam that is a new shape
What is a two dimensional shape with different lengths and angles?
They are said to be irregular shapes or polygons
What is the volume of a circle if its radius equals 4?
There is no volume in a circle but volume can be found in a sphere. The question should be rephrased. A circle is a two dimensional shape, so it cannot have a volume which is a characteristic of a three dimensional shape.

What is a Irregular hexagon?
An irregular hexagon is a closed 2-dimensional shape bounded by six straight lines such that two (or more) sides are of different length or two (or more) angles are of different measure.
What is the Volume formulae of a semi-circle?
A semi-circle is a two dimensional figure so it can have area but NOT volume. To find the area of a semi-circle see the question below.
What lab equipment is needed to determine the density of an irregular shape?
You do not need fancy lab equipment.Basically you need to determine two pieces of information1) The mass of the "irregular" shape (use a scale)2) The volume of the shape (use water displacement in a bucket/tub to find volume)Take the mass / volume and you have density.
How does a volume of a rectangular prism change if the length is doubled?
If one dimension of a 3-dimensional shape is doubled, the volume increases by 21 = 2. If two dimensions of a 3-dimensional shape are doubled, the volume increases by 22 = 4. If all three dimensions of a 3-D shape are doubled, the volume increases by 23 = 8.
