What is the formula for finding the volume of a irregular solid?
Eureka!There really isn't a "formula" for discovering the volume of an irregularly shaped solid. Instead, submerge the irregular solid in water and measure the volume of water it displaces to discover its volume. The ExperimentFor finding the volume of an irregular solid we just fully dip (submerge) it in a water tank which is fully filled with water and is attached to an another tank (a cylindrical overflow tank) through a pipe. With the setup in place, we put the solid into the full tank. The solid will displace water, which will flow through the pipe into the overflow tank. Further, the volume of the water the solid displaces will be equal to the volume of that irregular solid. Now we calculate the volume of water in the overflow tank using the depth of that water and the diameter of the tank. The volume of the displaced water will equal the volume of the irregularly shaped solid.There will generally not be a formula and the volume will have to be measured in some other way.
Formula of irregular polygon?
Any irregular polygon does not have equal sides and equal interior angles
What is the formula to calculate the volume of irregular object?
water displacement
What is the formula to irregular figures?
If the figure is irregular, you can't calculate its area (for example) with some simple formula. You need to use integration - which basically means to divide the figure into many narrow strips, which you assume to be rectangles.
What solid figure has no vertices?
A sphere, an ellipsoid, a torus (donut), an irregular blob with no pointy bit.
