If you were given the length width and weight of an object could you find the volume of the object?

No. You need the length, width and height.
If you had weight but not height, you would need the density (or the specific gravity). Strictly speaking, you need mass, not weight because with weight you would also need the accelaration due to gravity.

What could be studied using quantitative measures?
the volume, mass, length, or the amount of an object
How do you calculate the volume of a regular object?
For a regular object you measure the three dimensions of an object - length, width and height. After measuring each of these you then multiply them all together which leaves you with the volume of your object. Alternately, you could use a different way of calculating volume: displacement. Put x amount of water in a container with measurement markers on the sides. Then add the object. Subtract the final measurement from the original measurement and you will have the volume of the object.
What is the total area of a rectangle with a length of 4 ft width of 3ft and height of 6 ft?
A rectangle is a two dimensional object, with length and width but not height. An object with length, width and height could be a cuboid, in which case is it still the area that is required or the volume?
Method used to figure the volume of an irregular object?
Immerse the object in water and measure the volume of water that is displaced. One way would be to fill a container, large enough to hold the object, with water until it is just about to overflow. The container and water would need to be inside another container that could capture the displaced water. Submerge the object in the water and then measure the volume (or weight) of the water that overflows
What is the height length and width of a 8000 cm volume?
This question cannot be answered. First, because the volume of an object cannot be 8000 cm. A centimetre is a measure of length, not of volume and there is no conversion from length to volume. Suppose we assume the volume is 8000 cubic cm. Second, the shape of the object is not specified. It could be a cuboid, or an ellipsoid, a prism, pyramid, cone, cylnder etc or even a hemisphere or some more complex shape. The relationship between the linear dimensions and volume depend on the shape - and in the case of some complex shapes may well require some very high level mathematical techniques. Third, although you can calculate the volume of a shape if you have its height, length and width, if you have only the volume, you cannot calculate the other three.
When do you need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula?
You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.
What is a metric unit for lengthvolumeand weight?
Length could be centimetres. Volume could be litres. Weight could be kilograms.

How could the volume of a sided object be found using water and a graduated cylinder?
it can be found by first taking the volume of the water itself and then the volume of the object in the water. you pour water into the 12-sided object, then measure the amount of water using the graduated cylinder. Then you do this: length x width x height = volume

How do you find volume when mass and density are not givin?
It depends on the way the question is asked. If you are dealing with a cubic or rectangular object, you measure the length, width, and height, and multiply them. If it is a spherical or irregularly shaped object, you could used water displacement to find its volume. If it's a liquid, you could use a graduated cylinder to measure its volume.
What is the basic unit of volume in the matric system?
In matric, it is the widget. In the metric system, it could be the meter, the liter, the gram, etc. It depends on whether you are talking about length, weight, volume, etc.
How could you define the density?
Density = mass of an object divided by the volume of that object. Its unit is mass per unit volume.
Why is the unit centimeters cubed used when calculating the volume of a rectangular object?
The volume of an object is measured in units3 because it measures the 3 dimensions of the length, height, and width of an object. However, the units themselves are subject to change. For example it could be centimeters3, inches3, feet3, or any other units of measurement cubed.
