o take the irregular shape & put in a graduated cylinder filled with the amount of water you want.
then you take the measurement on how much it grew then subtract your answer with the original
First, fill a large graduated cylinder up with water. Then, measure how much water is in the graduated cylinder before you put the irregular object in. Last, measure how much water is in the graduated cylinder after you put the irregular object in, then subtract the two numbers and that is the volume of the irregular object.
one good way is to get a tub, fill it with water, lets say 1L (it might have to be bigger depending on he size of your object) this measurement has to be EXACT, the water level has to be at the very top of the tub/container. submerge the object, let the water flow out over the edge, measure EXACTLY how much water is left, that will give you a VERY close indication on the volume of the object, however beware if the object is porous, this may effect the results.
hope this helps

The easiest way - would be to immerse it in a water bath, and measure the run-off. If the object is unsuitable for immersion in liquid, you could place it in a box with a known volume, fill the box to the top with sand, remove the object, then - measure the volume of the sand. Finally - deduct the volume of the run-off from the original volume.
if its like fruit or a rock or something one way is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measure the change in the volume of the water.
One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.
Insert the object into a container which has a known quantity of water,
and measure the increase in the volume of water afterwards.
because the shape has no correct sides.
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.
There are many ways to find the volume of irregular shapes, but the most commonly used method is Water Displacement.
The unit used to measure irregular volume is cubic centimeters (cm3). However, liters may be used - 1 cm3 is equal to 1 milliliter.
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.
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.

"displacement volume"
Displacement
You use disfigurasation
To measure volume of large irregular shaped objects you need a displacement can
By immersing it in water and noting the volume of water displaced.
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.
by applying archemedes priciples, volume of the water displaced is equal to the voulume of the irregular object , measured by using a mesuring jar
To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.
because the shape has no correct sides.
Simple. A triangle is a 2-dimensional object and therefore its volume is always 0.
