Once easy way is displacement. You can place it in liquid and see how much liquid it displaces. This will be the volume.

How can the volume of a irregularly shaped rock be measured?
One way would be to get a container into which you could put the rock completely, fill it to the brim with water (without the rock in it), then put the rock in and measure the volume of the water that flowed out.
What tool is used to measure volume of an irregularly shaped object?
This would be called a graduated cillender. But the ccs vary in this tool...from 100 to 1000 * * * * * A graduated CYLINDER might be a better choice!
How do you use the displacement method to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Half fill a graduated glass beaker with water and note the level. Place irregularly shaped object into the beaker. Note the new level. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the object. cw: OK, that method works for objects that don't get wet -- like steel. Tissue paper would not be a good candidate. Also, if the object floats, you have to submerge the object.
How many line of symmetry does a moon have?
It would be hard to find a line of symmetry on a moon, as it is likely to be irregularly shaped.
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.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
Finding the volume of a solid when would water displacement be helpful?
When you are trying to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
What method of calculating volume would you use if the object is irregularly shaped?
Immerse the object completely in a liquid (e.g. water) and measure the volume of liquid displaced.
What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.
How would you find the density of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock?
Weight it. Find it's volume. (hint - how much water does it displace). Divide.
A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?
To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object. For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?

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.

How can you determine the identity of an irregularly shaped solid that is soluble to water?
you would use the water displacement theory
