What is the tool used to find the volume of a solid?

Answer 1

If it is a cube shape, only a ruler is needed. Measure height, width and length, then multiply the three.

You could practically find the volume by submerging it into a full container of liquid and measure how much of it overflows/is displaced.

Answer 2

you wouldn't really use an instrument, just the formula to get the answer...

say a square was 6x6x6 you would just times length-height-width to get you answer

therefore the square would have the volume of:

216cm cubed

Answer 3

A graduated cylinder or other container filled with liquid or sand can be used to measure volume,

by measuring the change or displacement in its volume.

When submerged in a filled container, an object will displace its volume. When placed in a filled container, it will only displace its weight in liquid, and may float.

Answer 4

A scale

A metre stick

Answer 5

A measuring cup is best.
