How would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as rock?

You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, like a rock, by using the water displacement method. Submerge the object in a known volume of water in a container. Measure the increase in water level, which equals the volume of the rock.

What The volume of an irregularly shaped geometric object is usually determined by the of it displaces.?

The volume of an irregularly shaped geometric object is typically determined by the amount of water it displaces when submerged. This method utilizes the principle of fluid displacement to calculate the volume of the object. By measuring the amount of water the object displaces, one can determine its volume.
