Place it in a graduated cylinder (or any other metered container), completely submerge the object, and record the amount of water displaced.

Place an empty beaker onto a second larger catch pan. Be sure that your catch pan will hold water without leaking, and make sure it is large enough to catch ALL of the water that will spill out of the beaker. Fill a beaker until you can see the meniscus above the rim of the container. CAREFULLY lower your irregular object into the beaker with water allowing the beaker to over flow into the catch pan. Once you have your object submerged in the beaker, remove the beaker from the catch pan. Let the little bit of water adhered to the exterior of the beaker drip into the catch pan for a few seconds to make your measurement as accurate as possible. Using a graduated cylinder, measure the volume of water that has over flowed into your catch pan. The volume of this water will be very close to the volume of your irregular object.

How do you measure the volume of object?
If the object is irregular the best way is to measure the volume of water it displaces when you immerse it completely in water.
How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.
What would you use to measure volume of an irregular object?
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.
How do you fine the volume of a irregular object?
Put the object in a measuring container; pour in water to cover the object and measure the volume in the container; take the object out of container and measure the volume remaining. The difference is the volume of the object. If the object floats push it down until covered with water.
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.

How would you measure the volume of an object with a irregular shape?
Displacement
How do you find the volume of large irregular shape object?
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can

How will you measure volume of irregular solid?
use a ruler to measure the lenght of each side of the object

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
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 find the density of an irregular shaped object that sinks?
Measure the volume of the object which is same as the volume of the displaced liquid in which that sinks. And measure the mass of the same object from a weighing machine. then use density = mass/volume

How you will measure the volume of an irregular object that float on water?
Push it down, and measure how much water is displaced.
