A graduated cylinder.
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
The volumes of small irregular solids are usually easily measured by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when they are immersed in a liquid. For example: You would have to put the object in a measuring glass with water in it. (~1/3 filled) Put the object in it and then get the number from the measuring glass (beaker etc. mostly beaker) and that is how you measure a irregular solid!

The best way to find the volume of an irregular solid is to submerge it in a liquid and see how much the liquid rises. You can also use calculus and tripple integrals, but that gets really sticky.

When you need to find volume of an irregular solid or a liquid.
I presume that you are trying to find the volume of an irregular solid. It is usual to tie a piece of thin cotton around the solid prior to lowering it into the measuring cylinder. This is so that you can control the decent of the object, i.e. it is not dropped into the cylinder causing the water to splash out, thus not giving an accuarate value for volume of the solid.
The volume of the similar solid would be 16M squared.

Water Displacement technique
Liquid displacement
Displacement is the process used to find the volume of an irregular object. This is done by submerging the object in water and measuring either the height the water rises or the volume of water that overflows the container.
Irregular solid volume is still measured in cm3 etcTo Find the Volume of an irregular object you can,Measure out a proportional amount of water to the object you are finding the volume ofPut the object in the container of waterSee how much the water has risen byYou now have the volume!!(The difference between the new and old volumes of water is the volume
