Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a rectangular object as well as an irregularly shaped object?
Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object. l x w x h= volume
How do you get the volume of a rectangular prism if length is not given?
You cannot calculate it without the length. However, it is possible to get the volume by submerging the prism in water and measuring the volume of the displaced water.
How would you fond the volume of an irregular shaped object that floats?
If possible, fully immerse the object in water, and measure the volume of displaced water.
How can you use the displacement of water to measure the volume of an object?
You fill up water ina beaker, measure the volume of the water as it originally was, then drop in an irregulary-shaped object, measure that volume, and subtrect the two. The difference is the volume of the object.
What technique is best used to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
Make a mold of the object and then fill the mold with water and measure the volume of the water.
A rectangular shaped aquarium with base measuring 0.08m and height 0.20m is filled with water to a depth of 0.15m.calculate the volume of water in the aquarium?
Is 0.08m the length or width of this rectangular aquarium? Need both measurements to calculate the volume of water, unless this is a SQUARE shaped aquarium.
How can a volume of water be deteremined?
The easy way: Pour the water into a graduated container, like a graduated cylinder, and read the volume directly. The hard way: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped container (cylindrical or rectangular). Pour the water into the container. Measure the height of the water in the container. Calculate the volume of the unfilled portion of the container. Subtract this volume from the total volume of the container.
What strategy do you use to calculate volume?
It all depends upon the shape of the object. For example, the volume of a rectangular prism is lengthxwidthxheight. For an irregular shaped object, one strategy is to immerse the object into a measured amount of water, then measure what is the total volume of water plus object, and subtract the original volume of water.

How can you find the volume of a solid that is not rectangular?
Water displacement
How do you we measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
Immerse it in water and its volume is equal to the volume of water displaced
How to calculate density weight for aluminum?
Get a sample of the metal. Use a scale to find its mass. If it is shape is that of a rectangular solid (box) measure length, width, and height and multiply to find volume. If it is irregularly shaped, use the water displacement method to find its volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
When is displacement used?
It is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. An object dropped into a volume of water will displace an equal volume of water.
How is the volume of an irregularly shaped solid measured?
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
How do you get the volume of a rectangular prism if length is not given?
You cannot calculate it without the length. However, it is possible to get the volume by submerging the prism in water and measuring the volume of the displaced water.
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.
How will you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water?
Use volume displacement method.
